WILLIAMSBURG-A Warhill High School student will open his first storefront for his cookie business on Friday, July 22.
Chris Knight, Jr., 16, is set to hold a soft opening for his cookie shop, CookieChris, at 11am at 14808 Richmond Rd. The new bake shop will occupy the space that was formerly Cakes by Tawanda.
Knight first started his business last year while stuck at home during the pandemic. His cookies are made to order from scratch daily. Knight rotates four new flavors each week. Cookies are sold in packages of four, six, or a dozen. Among the top sellers are the Oreo, Fruity Pebbles, and Birthday Cake flavored cookies.
CookieChris is also planning a grand opening celebration for the business, which will be held at 3pm on Friday, August 5.
Knight is currently looking for help to run his store. Interested individuals can email their resume to [email protected].
On July 12, the city of Williamsburg also welcomed another cookie establishment when Insomnia Cookies opened in Midtown Row. It was also previously announced that Crumbl Cookies is also coming to Greater Williamsburg and will open a shop in Monticello Marketplace.
