What 2 people actually said

So anyway, we opened that first franchise. And we use, we finally started to listen to some of our customers and they said we want more flavors. We want more cookies or more options.

That's how we started and then we always had our chocolate chip and chilled sugar making a total of six cookies and that model has just been awesome for us because it's like Christmas every Sunday night when we post about our new flavors because we're getting a return rate of once to two times weekly from our customers.

Well, people hate Instagram. And it's because they're using it incorrectly. So Instagram is a nurturing platform where TikTok is an outreach platform.
