Free Cookies for the People of Columbia on Tax Day! Great American Cookies® Announces “Incomes the Sweetness” Promotion

Hear ye, Hear ye! Great American Cookies® declares cookies for all of Columbia on Tax Day, April 15, 2014!
Through the “Incomes the Sweetness” promotion, the national gourmet cookie shop
will mark the culmination of tax season by providing a free Original Chocolate Chip
Cookie to customers in the Columbia area who stop by participating
stores.* No purchase or proof of completed taxes is necessary. 

“Pardon
the pun, but this time of year can be taxing,” said David Kaiser, vice
president, Great American Cookies. “We want to provide some sweet relief to our
customers and what better way to do it than with a delicious and traditional chocolate
chip cookie? While filing our taxes may not be the greatest reason for a party,
we do think it’s a great day for everyone to come together and celebrate our
country. We hope to see our customers, old and new, on Tuesday, April 15th.” 

The company’s “Income the Sweetness” promotion
marks the second year Great American Cookies has offered a free treat on Tax
Day. Last year, the promotion coincided with the launch of the company’s
Birthday Cake Cookie. This year, Great American Cookies is going back to its
roots by offering the great American classic, the chocolate chip cookie.
