“Bringing the Mother’s cookies brand to Kansas City is one of our first brand expansions outside of the western region of the country,” says Jane Ghosh, marketing director for Mother’s cookies, in a press release. “We chose Kansas City because it is an important central gateway from the Western states where the brand traditionally has had a very strong presence.

Iconic cookies? Yes. Mother’s cookies have amassed a devoted following throughout the years.
