Take the Cake By Kay

Over 25 years ago, Kay Benjamin was flying from coast to coast every week and kept observing the “chocolate chip cookie BOOM” happening on both the east and west coasts. Storefronts selling freshly baked cookies had lines out the door; people were placing orders by the dozens. Kay, who always had loved baking, realized the opportunity to turn her hobby into a business and opened a retail store selling fresh baked cookies in Kansas City. The business grew as Kay’s Good Cookies gained a reputation for incredible cookies. In fact it grew so much that a large national company eventually bought all of Kay’s stores.
