Lucky Cookie made a lucky find at Pack Expo

Lucky Cookie’s founder will definitely attend Pack Expo International 2012 this October. His last trip to the show resulted in a purchase that has boosted his young company’s growth significantly.

The cookies are offered as a free after-dinner treat at restaurants and are sold at coffee shops and other retailers.

When Tim Mcquiston launched Lucky Cookie Co. of Hustisford, WI, in late 2011, he did so with considerable help from a Doboy Stratus™ horizontal flow wrapper from Bosch (www.boschpackaging.com). The machine enabled him to reach the speeds required to deliver a cost-effective, high-quality product at the volume necessary to jump-start his business.

Based on that success, the Lucky Cookie Co. will be at Pack Expo International 2012 to find additional processing equipment and new packaging formats that will help the business grow in new directions.
 
With a background in automotive manufacturing, Mcquiston built a baked goods production line and took his cookies to market in late 2011. The company currently manufactures three types of cookies, and each variety is available with a humorous fortune inside: 
• The Lucky Taco fortune cookie, with flavors including several margarita-themed varieties, such as strawberry, lemon, lime, and mango
• The Lucky Cookie, a variation of the original cookie, featuring kids’ trivia
• The Lucky Cannoli, available in amaretto, mocha, Irish cream, and chocolate mint flavors, with or without fortunes, and plain or dark chocolate-dipped
 
The cookies are offered as a free after-dinner treat at restaurants and are sold at coffee shops and other retailers all around the U.S. and Canada, including Pink Taco, Ponderosa, Roundtable Pizza, Arizona Specialty Foods, Century Foods, and Sendik’s Foods. Even fast food chain Jack ’n the Box has offered the Lucky Taco cookie; in that case, as part of a limited-time promotion.
