GRAND RAPIDS — Josie Lomonaco’s mother would be pleased her daughter has put the family’s Sicilian cookies out for public consumption.
From sales in nine area retail stores to holidays and private affairs such as weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties and other events, the Lomonaco Sicilian Cookie Co.’s gourmet cookies are becoming popular in the area.
“This would warm her heart, and she would be so proud of the direction this has gone,” said Lomonaco, as she and her husband, John Lomonaco, today were to expand the business further with the launch of a website, jjlomonaco.com, where customers can buy a variety of cookies online.
Making the cookies was such a passion for the couple that, in January, Lomonaco, 57, retired from her office position with Orthopaedic Associates of Grand Rapids to focus full-time on the growing business.
