Tweetables:

“There are customers that really like the cookies and they [were] like, hey, we want [a location here], and so I started a franchise for them because they wanted to open one in Arkansas.” – Stephanie Ferreira

“I have that same feeling where I don't mind going above and beyond for somebody in their eyes because for me, it's like, well, it didn't bother me at all. Writing the handwritten note took me two seconds, you know, you gave me three bucks for a cookie or however much they are now. And it's like, I don't care, that's fine, you know, two seconds of my time.” – Stephanie Ferreira
