What started as a case of the late-night munchies ended up as a business for Chris Newell and Jennifer Coolbrith, who recently opened a fresh-cookie delivery service in Denver's Ballpark neighborhood.
Open from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday,
The Dirty Cookie offers free delivery of its warm cookies, milk and ice cream within a three-mile radius of its 2,500-square-foot commissary at 3462 Larimer St.,
Newell and Coolbrith, who both currently have full-time jobs, plan to open a downtown-area coffee and cookie shop by the end of August.
"We plan on filling the whole corridor with the smell of chocolate chip cookies," Newell said.
The partners are planning a second location -- retail or not -- near the University of Denver to cut down on the time it takes drivers to deliver orders to that area.
"If we get two orders from DU back-to-back, two drivers are gone for an hour," Newell said.
Ultimately, The Dirty Cookie will have a location in Boulder and then branch out with franchises throughout the state.
"Everything about our company is Colorado -- all the way down to the cows that produce the milk," Newell said.
