Melissa Blue and Melissa Mehall share more than a first name. They grew up close friends, they are both mothers, and now, they are business partners embarking on one of the biggest adventures of their lives.
The two, who have a 25-year friendship, just secured a deal for their Central Texas business, Meli’s Monster Cookies, to sell their products at Wal-Mart stores. Their two-person company’s gluten-free cookies will sell at about 200 Texas-area stores within the chain starting in May.
The move will take Meli’s cookies from 150 stores, which include H-E-B locations, to a total of 350 stores in the U.S., the Melissas said.
“It’s a little surreal,” Mehall said. “It will be cool.”
