When a small-time cookie shop in Wrigleyville, Cloud Cookies, posted a TikTok to their social media page, going viral was the last response they expected.
In March 2023, bakery owner Anne Marie Morin reported to WGN Chicago that the business started seeing a new fame after one of Morin’s TikToks went viral. Users watching nationwide placed a record number of orders, more than what the shop has ever seen.
Morin started Cloud Cookie in 2020, during quarantine. Despite its challenging start, she told WGN Chicago she is grateful for the flood of support that the small business has received. The TikTok post made an impact, not only increasing the number of shipping orders but also attracting fans turned customers to visit the shop.
Located in Chicago's charming Wrigleyville, Cloud Cookie offers a selection of unique flavors, including the world-famous Cloud Cookie - a signature item that started it all. The expansion of their online presence and the influx of orders from across the nation have kept the team busy and added another success story to the world of small businesses making it big through social media.
