Founded in 1977 on the strength of an old family chocolate chip cookie recipe, Great American Cookies has set the standard for gourmet cookie sales in shopping centers nationwide. With a strategy and quality product that has propelled over 30 years of consistent growth, Great American Cookies now leads as the mall-based cookie system. At Great American Cookies, the customer is able to enjoy the things that make life sweet. Whether they want a delicious fresh cookie, brownie or Cookie Cake, they will find a celebratory, fun environment with high quality and superior products.

Great American Cookies was acquired by NexCen Brands, Inc. in January 2008, making it the fifth brand in NexCen's quick service restaurant (QSR) portfolio. Great American Cookies is not only a brand with a rich history based on a proprietary recipe of fresh baked cookie dough, but it is also the innovator and leading provider of Cookie Cakes. NexCen plans to expand the Cookie Cake business beyond the mall locations and into the corporate gifting business through the implementation of a central reservation system. NexCen will be exploring opportunities to add pretzels and ice cream to new and existing locations, as well as bringing the Great American Cookies business into its other QSR concepts. With its international network of franchisees, NexCen plans to expand the brand and locations both domestically and internationally and ultimately make it into the leading cookie concept in the world.
