“Fat Cookie” Gets Shut Down by San Francisco Police

Late last week, we caught wind of an interesting startup that centered around a couple female entrepreneurs selling cookies and baked goods out of their second story apartment window in San Francisco. The elevator pitch on their brand? They were dangling their baked goods out of a window utilizing a string-pulley system that would have put many child entrepreneurs to shame.

Apparently, there were a few key business aspects the ladies seemed to overlook (to be fair, a few of our readers/commenters caught it immediately), mainly the lack of any sort of permits with the city. Earlier this afternoon, the curators of their Facebook page announced that their operation was “shut down by the popo!” Six minutes later, they admitted that “yeah, we didn’t realize we needed permits. Now we know!“.  So for those of you wondering if this “cute startup” had permits or not…they did not.
