Columbia’s first cookie delivery shop plans to open its doors this September.
It’s founders, MU students Corey Rimmel, David Melnick, and Adam Hendin, took the idea from a similar shop that Rimmel saw while visiting Bloomington, Ind.
“Corey saw how well they were doing, he came back and started talking about opening a similar store at Mizzou,” Melnick said.
The owners are currently in the process of building the shop, which will be located at 808-B East Broadway.
While nothing is finalized, Melnick estimated their hours would be:
- Monday-Wednesday 4 p.m. -1 a.m.
- Thursday-Friday 4 p.m. – 2 a.m.
- Saturday 1 p.m. – 2 a.m.
- Sunday 1 p.m. – midnight
Melnick said a single cookie will sell for approximately 95 cents, and scale so that “the more you buy the better the deal.”
“Plus, we hope to establish a catering business to serve whoever might want to buy a whole lot of cookies,” Melnick said.
Hot Box’s menu will also include milkshakes, smoothies, milk, soda and ice cream sandwiches.

I think they should keep early morning hours and even lunch for businesses and people looking to get a dozen or so for the office or to take to meetings.
