Cookie Society
This Frisco-based, boutique business started with an intervention regarding butter purchases.
Marissa Allen, wife of former NFL player Jeff Allen, says he started asking questions about her butter purchases and her obsession with making cookies -- which she gave away to the mailman, friends and teachers. His offhanded comment about selling cookies sparked a sweet business idea in 2016. But, having the courage to launch brick-and-mortar business on April 18 during the COVID-19 pandemic was also something pretty spectacular.
When Marissa and Jeff started the online business a few years ago, they soon started getting inquiries about buying dozens and if people could stop by and pick up a cookie.
Fast-forward to their new location at 9320 Dallas Parkway, Suite 160. The company now offers 26-plus cookie flavors, plus lemon bars, cookie cakes and brownies. Now, Marissa says it's "love in every crumb. We promise you'll fall in love."

Fresh Harvest Produce Delivery
A group of North Texas temporarily closed restaurant owners launched a produce delivery service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those entities included Frisco restaurant Biscuit, Barbec’s in Dallas and the Starwood Café in McKinney. They called it Fresh Harvest Produce Delivery, and offered large boxes of fruit, vegetables or a mixture of the two for a flat fee of $40, including delivery. The business’ website states the boxes feed four to six people.
The new website, FreshHarvestDelivery.com also has a “Give” tab that allows people to gift a produce box to a family in need, or those struggling from being furloughed or laid off from a job.
