“My father had these amazing cookie flavors that he just had for friends and family. And it was just one of the things I saw growing up and I was like ‘I see a business with this,’” he said.
The Not as Famous Cookie shop owner also revealed some of the obstacles, he faced during the beginning stages of opening his shop.
“You start out thinking ‘I’m about to set up shop with this cookie truck, and people are going to show up.’ No, it’s not like that. You have to deal with all the permitting process, you have to deal with the county process, and you also have to figure out what your client base is. What might work for some trucks might not work for you,” Carlton shared.
Ashley also shares with Pretty Vee that all the cookies are freshly baked throughout the day.
