*Chris Knight began baking cookies in 2021 while still a high school junior, and by age 16, he opened his first Cookie Chris store. The Williamsburg shop, which recently celebrated its second anniversary, bakes about 1,000 cookies daily and has become a local favorite.
Knight opened a second Cookie Chris location in Richmond, offering classic cookie flavors, ice cream, and milkshakes along with exciting new options such as strawberry shortcake and the “Cookie Chris” special. The 19-year-old entrepreneur is expanding his business while studying at Morehouse College, an HBCU in Atlanta, maintaining a 4.0 GPA, Black Business reports.
“I love it when people come here, buy my cookies, and smile,” Knight told the Daily Press. “That’s really how it all began. It is important that people enjoy my cookies.”
Cookie Chris is available for delivery across the country. A message on the website states: “Even if you live across the country, you can still enjoy our fresh-baked and tasty cookies! Flavors available for shipping include; chocolate chip, strawberry, fruity pebbles, brownie,birthday cake and oatmeal chocolate chip. When you place your order, we bake and carefully ship your cookies to your door. They will be delivered quickly to your door, so you can enjoy your tasty treats!”
Knight manages his Williamsburg store while studying philosophy and psychology at Morehouse. He chose to launch a second Cookie Chris in Richmond because the city is “kind of home,” he said.
