10 year old owns his own business, Mr. Cory's Cookies

0. You may think that a ten year old is too young to own a business, but Cory Nieves proved you wrong. Cory Nieves is a 5th grader that sells cookies for a dollar. This thriving business started off as selling hot chocolate because he didn’t want to take the bus anymore, so he wanted to purchase his mom a car. After a little bit of time he added cookies, and lemonade to the menu. Cory got $100 a day from selling only those 3 items. Someone was being mean to him and called the health department to shut the small business down. Thankfully the health department helped Cory incorporate the business legally. If the health department didn’t help him to make it legal he probably wouldn’t be where he is now in his business. Later this young business man was on Ellen DeGeneres show, and Ellen gave Cory and his mom $10,000 and a new car. That was really nice of Ellen! Now Cory is the CEO of Mr. Cory’s cookies, which is an all natural bakery in Englewood New Jersey. Cory goes around and sells cookies to boutiques, barber shops, car dealerships, farmers markets, community events for $1. Mr. Todd’s Pie Company is a big help to his business. He lets Cory use his commercial kitchen and Mr. Todd sells Cory’s cookies for him too. During the summer he works full time, but of course he has to take time off the be a normal kid. Outside of his business he likes to take art and karate classes. During the school year he is only limited to work on Saturdays, and after school if they really need him. He went through a lot to get this business. You may think kids are too young to own a business, but think again. Have you ever wanted to own a business like Cory?
