When you think about baked treats, there are any number of options that might come to mind. But there’s a good chance the very first thought that’ll pop into your head is — cookie! And that’s because cookies have been part of just about everyone’s childhood (think milk and cookies), are typically easy to eat, and come in all sorts of deliciously sweet variations. In short, cookies are extremely popular. In fact, the global market for cookies is huge, and from 2017 to 2018, the Cookie industry saw $8.5 billion in domestic sales. What this means is that Americans love cookies, and we do, too! Great American Cookies is part of an industry that’s growing every year and shows no signs of slowing down. What is that industry? Let’s take a closer look.

The Quick Service Restaurants Franchise Industry

Great American Cookies is proud to be part of the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) franchise industry, a broad market that specializes in fast-foods and snacks. This industry used to be dominated by fast-food chains that serve popular menu items like hamburgers and cheeseburgers, French fries and milkshakes. But today, as more and more consumers’ tastes are changing, the industry is evolving to include snack foods like our delicious cookies and cookie cakes. It’s a market that has broad demographic appeal and in 2015, saw 200 billion dollars in US sales alone!  So, if you want to start a cookie company of your own, investing in a Great American Cookies franchise could be smart move!
