Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley started Crumbl Cookies in 2017 at a quaint storefront in Logan, Utah. These cousins started off only serving fresh chocolate chip cookies for takeout and delivery. The company rapidly grew, along with their variety of flavors. Crumbl now has over 300 bakeries throughout 36 different states, making it the fastest growing cookie company in the country.

In December 2018, the weekly rotation of four flavors was officially established. You can get a notorious cookie flight featuring the classic chocolate chip along with four to five new flavors each week. Funky flavors include caramel popcorn, neapolitan, key lime pie and many more.

The company instantly took TikTok by storm and now have 3.4M followers. Users soon started posting #crumblreviews, where influencers and creators taste and rate the different flavors of the week.
