Eileen originated Eileen's Colossal Cookies in Hastings, Nebraska in her home in April of 1982. She had taken a cake decorating class with the intent to make cakes for her children's birthdays. She has two sons - Gabe, and Tony who is now working in the business as the Franchise Director. After seeing a shop in Omaha with decorated cookies, she decided to try baking and selling decorated cookies instead of cakes.
Eileen ran newspaper ads about the decorated cookies and also established a route that she took plain 6" cookies to on a daily basis (places like 7 Eleven, etc). Since she was working out of her home, she knew she needed an innovative way to promote her business. So she offered free delivery and she also offered delivery dressed in the Cookie Monster costume. To her surprise this was equally as popular with the adults as it was with the children!
After baking, decorating and selling big cookies in a kitchen in her basement for a year and a half, she opened her first store in downtown Hastings on October 1, 1983.
Because of excellent quality and a very reasonable price for a product much in demand, Eileen's Colossal Cookies has been a very successful business. In April of 1987 she opened a shop in Grand Island and in May of 1991 in Kearney.
It wasn't long and Eileen was receiving calls from people who wanted to buy a Franchise.
Even though there are some differences in our shops, one thing is always the same - our Quality!!
