Mr. Cory

He was just six when he decided to sell hot cocoa on the streets of New Jersey to help raise money for his mother to buy a car. He would later add cookies and lemonade to the menu as the weather changed, making about $300 per day. Soon, Cory and his mother expanded the business and developed their own cookie recipe for scores of customers. Today, with support from various quarters, Mr. Cory’s Cookies has a brand new office and a custom company car. Now in 8th grade, Cory serves a CEO of Mr. Cory’s Cookies, and his mother, Lisa works as the CFO.
