Archway Cookies is a popular cookie brand in the United States. The company was established in 1936 in Battle Creek, Michigan and has since become a household name for its variety of cookie flavors and styles.

History[edit | edit source]

Archway Cookies was founded by Harold and Ruth Swanson in 1936. The couple started the business in their garage in Battle Creek, Michigan. The company's name, "Archway," was inspired by the arch-shaped doorways in their original bakery.

In the early years, Archway Cookies was known for its home-style, soft-textured cookies. The company's cookies were unique in the market, as most other cookie brands at the time were producing hard, crunchy cookies. This unique selling point helped Archway Cookies to quickly gain popularity.
