The bright and cheerful interior of the new Cookie Chris shop in Henrico, inviting visitors to enjoy delicious treats.
Cookie Chris opens its third location in Henrico this week, offering an array of cookie flavors and an inviting atmosphere. Founded by a young entrepreneur, this cookie shop aims to attract foot traffic from nearby residential developments. With its unique offerings, Cookie Chris is set to become a favorite destination for dessert lovers in the area.
Henrico, VA – Cookie Chris is set to open its third location this week at 4091 Concord Creek Place in eastern Henrico. The new store is strategically located in an outparcel at the Springdale Park development, making it easily visible and accessible to residents and visitors alike.
The franchise, founded by 20-year-old entrepreneur Chris Knight, already operates successful stores in Short Pump and Williamsburg. With this expansion, Knight aims to capitalize on the growing residential developments in the area, which are expected to increase foot traffic at the new location.
Cookie Chris stands out with its rotating weekly menu featuring six distinct cookie flavors. Each cookie measures 5 inches in diameter and is priced slightly under $5, allowing customers to purchase cookies individually or in boxes of four, six, or a dozen. The company prides itself on its in-house baking facility, where unique flavors are crafted, including popular items like banana pudding cookies. Aside from cookies, the store also offers an array of ice creams and milkshakes.
Designed to provide a memorable dining experience, the new location showcases bright decor and neon signs, ideal for customers seeking photo opportunities. Knight has carefully curated the environment to enhance the overall appeal of the cookie shop, making it an inviting spot for families and friends.
This new Cookie Chris outlet fills the last storefront in the retail section of the Springdale development. Planned operating hours for the store are set from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The proximity of the new shop to well-known franchises like Dunkin’ and Wingstop, along with a Chipotle slated to open in the fall, enhances its potential customer base.
Chris Knight, a junior studying pre-law at Morehouse College, established Cookie Chris while he was still in high school. Despite the demands of academics and entrepreneurship, he attributes his success to the unwavering support of his family and dedicated staff. Currently, the company employs 15 individuals, contributing to the growth of the local economy.
As the sole owner of Cookie Chris, Knight has future plans to franchise the business, demonstrating his ambition to expand the brand beyond its current locations. Knight’s journey is an inspiration to many young entrepreneurs, showcasing how passion and hard work can lead to successful business ventures.
The opening of this new Cookie Chris location in eastern Henrico represents not only the growth of a young entrepreneur’s dream but also adds to the vibrant culinary landscape of the area. With its unique offerings, strategic location, and commitment to a high-quality dining experience, Cookie Chris is poised to become a popular destination for cookie lovers in Henrico.
