Ben's Cookies
Ben's Cookies is a chain of bakeries that specializes in selling large, chunky cookies. Founded in Oxford, England in 1983 by Helge Rubinstein, the brand was named after her son Ben.

The brand quickly became popular among locals and tourists alike, leading to the opening of additional stores across the United Kingdom.
In the 2000s, Ben's Cookies began to expand internationally, opening stores in locations such as South Korea, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. This international expansion helped to solidify Ben's Cookies as a globally recognized brand.

In addition to cookies, some Ben's Cookies locations also sell milk, coffee, and other beverages to complement their baked goods.
