Great Cookie Comeback-Wally 'Famous' Amos

Wally Amos built & lost one of the most popular cookie brands in history...Famous Amos Cookies. At 83, from his room at the YMCA, Wally’s launching his final company and trying to avoid past mistakes to make his new cookie as famous as his first.


Wally's an African American icon whose history is full of valuable lessons and his present reminds us you're never too old to write a new chapter. 


From nothing, he built an incredible brand and then lost it all due to mismanagement. The Famous Amos story is a great case study and wonderful conversation starter for students of: African American Studies, Business & Gerontology. Topics include:

  • Entrepreneurship
  • Business Planning
  • Contracts
  • Marketing/Promotion
  • Business Law

The Great Cookie Comeback

Total Running Time: 74 & 55 min versions

Rated PG-13 for Language

We showed "The Great Cookie Comeback" to over 50 of our business students. It's a great case study for students to see firsthand no matter how good your product, if you don’t have a solid business plan and make smart contracts, you may not succeed. Student feedback was extremely positive—they found the film both interesting and educational.
