Bakery Barn, Inc.

bakery barn began january 2000 in a small apartment. at that time, sean perich was employed as a cpa for a national accounting firm requiring extensive travel and frequent meals on-the-go. in an attempt to create a better tasting high protein meal replacement, he began baking vanilla protein powder into a chocolate chip cookie recipe. fifteen months and a few kitchenaid mixers later, a recipe was developed that wasn't too bad. late in 2001, a sports nutrition distributor asked sean about his protein cookies after watching him eat one in the gym following a workout. a brief conversation ensued after which the distributor ordered 200 dozen high protein cookies. in order to produce the order, sean lined up all of his available vacation time and begged his mother and sister to help him bake. three weeks later, the order was completed and delivered. to everyone's surprise, all of the cookies were sold the first week prompting the distributor to immediately place an order for 400 dozen more
