Milestones Matter! Cookie and Ice Cream Franchises Announce Partnership to Support Mom and Baby Nonprofit

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Great American Cookies, the Original Cookie Cake franchise, and Marble Slab Creamery, the imaginative small-batch ice cream brand, proudly announce their partnership with March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit fighting for the health of moms and babies. Tapping into the brands’ synergies of celebrating family milestones, the three organizations will join forces to honor Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients, their families, and the healthcare professionals caring for them.

To celebrate heroic NICU employees on Sept. 28, NICU Staff Appreciation Day, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery will provide a sweet surprise to select NICU teams around the country by delivering Original Cookie Cakes and Ice Cream Cakes. In honor of NICU Awareness Day on Sept. 30, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery will donate $1 to March of Dimes for every purchase made in-store or online. Additionally, customers who order Cookie Cakes or Ice Cream Cakes online on Sept. 30 (and pick up no later than Oct. 7) receive $3 off their Cookie Cake or IceCream Cake with code.

Many babies will spend their earliest days in the NICU due to preterm birth, birth defects, surgical or genetic conditions, or other diagnosis. This time can be stressful and overwhelming for families. The funds raised will help further March of Dimes’ critical support for families through programs like the NICU Family Support^® program, which offers family education, staff training on family-centered care and an improved patient experience.

“With 1 in 10 babies born preterm each year, many of whom will spend time in the NICU, we appreciate the remarkable impact NICU staff have on families,” said Jenn Johnston, Chief Marketing Officer at FAT Brands, Inc. “At Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookies, we love sharing milestone moments with families, whether it’s a birthday or first steps – every milestone is worth celebrating. We have the perfect Cookie Cakes and Ice Cream Cakes to do just that! We are proud to raise funds to further the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of all moms and babies.”

“For more than 20 years, March of Dimes has been there for families with a baby in the NICU and as they transition home, offering the support and education they need, right when they need it,” said Kelly Ernst, March of Dimes Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue and Impact Officer. “This NICU Awareness Month, we are inspired by Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery’s commitment to celebrate the dedicated staff that work so hard to take care of thousands of families each year with support from our hospital partners across the country as part of their exciting Milestones Matter initiative.”

For nearly 40 years, Marble Slab Creamery has been an innovator in the ice cream space, dreaming up the frozen slab technique and offering homemade, small-batch ice cream with free unlimited mix-ins, shakes in a variety of flavors, and ice cream cakes.

Since 1977, Great American Cookies has baked up a reputation for not only being the creator of the Original Cookie Cake, but also for its famous chocolate chip cookie recipe. Other craveable menu items include brownies and Double Doozies™, made with delectable icing sandwiched between two cookies.

Twin Peaks IPO. FAT Brands announced plans to pursue an initial public offering of its Twin Peaks restaurant business. Management previously had indicated the significant value creating potential of Twin Peaks for FAT Brands’ shareholders, although the timing is sooner than we had expected. FAT expects to retain a majority ownership.

The Business. Twin Peaks recently opened its 100^th location and should end the year with approximately 115 lodges, an almost 40% increase in unit count since the acquisition. The brand also has a committed development pipeline for an additional 109 franchise locations. Over the next several years, Twin Peaks plans to double its unit count to more than 200 lodges with about 80% franchised. The planned unit growth is expected to increase systemwide sales to approximately $1.0 billion. Over the next three years, Twin Peaks’ contribution to FAT Brands adjusted EBITDA should increase from $40 million to $60 million.
