Your first business, with ready product and support from day one
Starting a business shouldn't require a huge investment or prior experience. With The Cookie Stop you get the product, display stands and step-by-step guidance to launch your local cookie business — at the pace you choose.
Students, early-career professionals or anyone wanting to build something of their own can run this model. Outside Chihuahua you start by buying your first order; if you are in the state, the programme runs on consignment and you invest nothing up front.

How you kickstart your journey
You apply and we validate
Every application is reviewed by hand. We want to know where the product will go, not to fill a quota.
You place your first order
24 pieces for $600 — three of each flavour, enough to open two points of sale. Display stands and shipping are included.
You place and restock
Every restock is $25 a piece plus freight to your city. The price does not change with volume.
Why build on something that already works?
Most new businesses fail because the product has no demand. Here, that problem is already solved.
Proven product
You don't spend months creating a recipe, a brand, or an identity. It already exists and people already love it — you focus on selling.
No dead inventory
Order product according to your sales pace. You don't buy a huge lot hoping it works.
A brand that opens doors
When you arrive with an established brand, cafés and shops give you meetings and listen. It's easier than knocking on doors with something unknown.
Flexible pace
It's not all or nothing. You can start alongside your job or studies and grow on your own time.
Learn by selling, not in courses
Real knowledge of sales, negotiation, and operations comes from practice. This model is designed for you to learn by doing.
Full operational backing
Logistics, packaging, production, and quality control are on us. You focus on what actually moves your business: relationships, sales, and local growth.
Skills that stay with you for life
Even if later you do something else, you walk away with sales, negotiation, personal brand, and business thinking. Skills that serve any future project.
You build your own network
The customers and businesses you work with become part of your personal network. That relationship is yours and stays with you even if one day you switch projects.
Real support from day one
You do not have to work it out alone. You have the tools, the context and direct contact with the team.
Step-by-step sales training
Scripts, examples, and practice so you know what to say in every situation — from your first placement to tough objections.
Ready-to-use sales materials
Displays, digital catalogs, WhatsApp and social media templates. You don't start from zero on design.
Direct mentorship from the team
Real contact with The Cookie Stop team. Not a chatbot or call center — people who know the business.
A community of other founders
Other Associates building their businesses. They share what works, what doesn't, and how to get through the first months.
If you've never sold before, here's your first two weeks
A realistic example of how someone with no prior experience gets started.
Your kit arrives
You receive initial product, displays, and materials. We review the startup plan with you and resolve questions before you start selling.
First sales to your network
You start with friends, family, and close contacts. It's the most natural way to try the scripts and build confidence.
First placement in a business
With the confidence of early sales, you schedule meetings with 3 to 5 local cafés. The goal is to close one or two pilot placements.

There are two ways to work with us and it comes down to one thing: whether you are in Chihuahua or outside it. They are not the same deal, and it is worth knowing which one applies before you apply.
| Item | Inside Chihuahua | Outside Chihuahua |
|---|---|---|
| How the product arrives | On consignment. We deliver it. | You buy it and we ship it. |
| When you pay | After the shop pays you | In advance |
| Upfront investment | None | Your first order |
| Shipping | We cover it | You pay it |
| Unsold stock | We absorb it | It is yours |
| Territory | One person per city in the southern corridor | The city is not closed |
Inside the state we deliver, we see the route and we can collect what did not move. Outside the state there is no route to see and nothing to collect, so we do not send consignment stock to someone we have not met.
How it works outside Chihuahua
You buy the product at partner price and resell it. No fee, no contract and no exclusivity to sign.

You place and restock
Every restock is $25 a piece plus freight to your city. The price does not change with volume.
Your first order
24 pieces for $600, with two display stands and shipping included. The minimum is 16 pieces; from 16 to 23 freight is charged separately. We recommend 24 because that is three of each flavour and covers two points of sale.
Your price
$25 a piece plus freight, at any quantity. You leave it with the shop at a suggested $33 and the shop sells to the public at $45. The margin per piece is yours: there is no commission in between.
Is the territory mine alone?
Outside Chihuahua the city is not closed: there can be more than one reseller in the same town. What we do instead is review every application by hand so we are not putting two people into the same aisle. City exclusivity exists only in the southern corridor of Chihuahua, where there is a single drop point.
Where it places well
- Grocery shops and minimarkets
- Specialty cafes
- Gyms and studios
- Offices and coworking spaces
- Gourmet shops and delicatessens
Questions about the programme
How much do I need to start?
Outside Chihuahua, your first order: 24 pieces for $600, with stands and shipping included. There is no joining fee, no membership and no rental on the display stands.
Do I get a better price if I order more?
No. The price is $25 a piece at any quantity. We removed the volume tiers because they forced a negotiation every month and moved nobody to open more shops. Single orders of 1,000 pieces or more are quoted separately.
Do you pay commission?
No, and that is deliberate. This is not a commission scheme: you buy the piece at $25 and leave it with the shop at $33. The difference is entirely yours and nobody splits it.
Who pays the shipping?
Your first order of 24 pieces or more ships free. After that you pay the freight and it is quoted to your postal code — we ship with FedEx, DHL, Estafeta, Redpack or Paquetexpress.
What if I do not sell it all?
Outside Chihuahua the product is yours from the moment you pay for it, and so is the unsold stock. That is why we suggest starting at 24 pieces and no more: the cookie keeps for four weeks at room temperature in its sealed packaging, ample time to turn over two stands.
