Mom Turns Love For Brownies Into $1 Million Biz
Lisa Rothstein began baking brownies as a hobby while working as an elementary school teacher. She and a sorority sister started a business called Brownie Points baking brownies in their apartment.
Soon their business took off and they moved it to a manufacturing facility in Cleveland.
Unfortunately, Lisa had to move to Colombus, Ohio because of her husband’s job. Growing tired of the commute and the time it took away from her family she decided to sell out.
Soon after going through a divorce, Lisa realized that her true passion was her brownie business. She contacted the new owners and they offered her a position at the company but Lisa wanted to take the company back. Eventually the new owners agreed and she once again was the owner of Brownie Points.
Her line of brownies feature flavors like, cookies and cream, cappuccino fudge, original kitchen sink, rasberry caramel fudge, to name a few.
She has now merged her company with her new husbands gourmet popcorn business and features extraordinary flavors like black rasberry, vanilla butternut, cinnamon spice, and gingerbread.
