## Story

Prunella has worked with Chip City for the past five years. She started as an executive pastry chef and partner, and now works as the brand's Chief Operating Officer.

About Chip City: Chip City began in Astoria, Queens, opening their first bakery in July 2017. Chip City created a signature 5.5-ounce cookie that is served warm, making it a chewy and gooey experience. It was a hit with the customers, and they formed lines daily at the Astoria bakery to purchase the cookies. Later, sharing their love of the unique Chip City cookie experience on social media made the company go viral. Chip City now offers over 40 unique cookie creations with a daily rotating menu. It has since expanded to a total of 17 locations throughout New York—and growing!

Investment Range: $293,000 to $526,000
