2020Bud’s Best Cookies was founded by Albert L. “Bud” Cason in Birmingham, AL in 1991. Bud has

been in the cookie industry for over 65 years. He sold a cookie company and a snack cake

company in 1986 and had to sign a 5 year non-compete agreement. Due to his

entrepreneurial sprit, love for the industry and innovation, he was inducted into the

American Society of Baking’s Bakers Hall of Fame, in 2017.

Not long after production began at Bud’s Best, we were contracted by

a national manufacturer to develop a bite size cookie program for

vending and convenience. We did this for them nationally, winning a

coveted award.
