Over the course of 36 years with Great American Cookies, we have worked for the corporate headquarters in Atlanta as well as franchised 19 stores from Louisiana to Maryland. 9 years ago, we began selling our other locations and buying out our partner’s shares to spend our time solely focused on operating the Mall of Georgia locations, which we opened in 1999.
For the last 23 years, God has blessed us with millions of great customers at Mall of Georgia. Many customers have become dear friends. Several of our employees have become like close family. We are truly thankful for everyone we have come in contact with over our time at Mall of Georgia. Our wonderful customers and staff will forever hold a place in our hearts.
I say all of this to announce that as of 6pm today, we have officially SOLD both of our Mall of Georgia GAC locations!! Tomorrow, we start life as retirees! 🎉🎉🙌🏻🙌🏻
To commemorate our last day in business, our son Joe and his family came to the stores to be our last customers!
Over the last 2 months, we (as well as many of our key management personnel) have trained and worked with the new owners. We are confident in their ability and feel that we are leaving our stores in good hands. We hope you will welcome them as you so warmly welcomed us 23 years ago!
THANK YOU, for 23 amazing years!!
To GOD be the glory!
