The cool jacks ®story
From a homemade treat to a beloved Michigan brand, discover how our passion for cookies, ice cream, and one special dog named Jackson created the Cool Jacks journey.
The Sweet Beginning
In 2011, Cool Jacks was born in a small Michigan kitchen with one cart, two classic treats, and big dreams. We paired fresh-baked cookies with hand-churned small-batch ice cream to create the ultimate cookie ice cream sandwich - rich, nostalgic, and made from real ingredients.
Named after our beloved dog Jackson, we set out to bring joy to events, neighborhoods, and freezers across the state. Every sandwich was crafted with care and served with a smile, one handcrafted frozen dessert at a time.
Our Growth Journey
With one cart and high hopes, we set out to serve handcrafted ice cream sandwiches to our local community. Thanks to word of mouth, the response was overwhelming. People loved our freshly-baked cookies, rich small-batch ice cream, and fun approach to dessert.
Soon, we added more carts to meet the growing demand for ice cream catering at graduation parties, weddings, birthdays, and company events. We introduced an ice cream truck and in 2014 opened our first Cool Jacks scoop shop in Michigan.
In 2015, we launched a four-pack of our frozen desserts and began selling them in local markets. Today, our cookie and ice cream combinations are available in freezers at major retailers across the region.
