ATLANTA (Nov. 12, 2019) – Sweet wishes are coming true! For the first time ever, Great American Cookies’ fresh baked cookies can be shipped right to your door or sent to friends and family nationwide. Through a new e-commerce platform, the number one retail cookie shop is offering a customized gift box featuring a dozen freshly baked cookies. The customer can select from four popular flavors (Original Chocolate Chip, Sugar, Double Fudge and Birthday Cake), personalize a message and have it arrive in one to two business days, or pick-up the same day from a participating local Great American Cookies store. All cookies are baked the day they ship, guaranteeing the delivery of the soft, fresh and delicious cookies you know and love. Orders can be placed by going to Great American Cookies and selecting “Send Cookies.” The gift box costs $25.99 plus shipping and tax.

“After extensive planning and testing, we are thrilled to offer a way for Great American Cookies to be enjoyed anywhere in the U.S.” said Lisa Cheatham, Vice President of Growth Marketing for Global Franchise Group, the franchisor of the Great American Cookies brand. “We are known for baking the freshest and most delicious cookies and our new e-commerce program maintains our high level of quality while offering unsurpassed freshness. Customers can send some fresh baked love to friends, family or even someone who doesn’t have a Great American Cookies’ nearby. They are also convenient for corporate gifting.”

Monday through Friday, orders placed before 6 A.M. are baked and shipped on the same day and orders submitted after will be baked and shipped the next business day. Orders placed Saturday and Sunday will be processed on Monday. All baking and packaging take place at Great American Cookies’ innovation center facility in Atlanta. Customers requesting a large order of gift boxes sent to multiple addresses are asked to email [email protected]. Prices for in-store pickup may vary from the shipping option as stores are independently owned and operated. To order local pickup, select “Order Online” from Great American Cookies.
