After six years of success, the company shifted its focus to selling its fresh-baked cookie program to other foodservice operations on a wholesale basis. More than twenty-five years later, the company continues to offer this popular program complete with its trademark pre-portioned, gourmet frozen cookie dough, pre-set ovens, and merchandising tools. Otis Spunkmeyer ready-to-bake, frozen cookie dough is the #1 brand in foodservice.
