Nothing’s sweeter than a chocolate chip cookie — except when it’s just $1 and helps a great cause.
On Monday, Aug. 4, The Famous 4th Street Cookie Company celebrates National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day by offering $1 Chocolate Chip Cookies, with all proceeds benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region (RMHC).
Customers craving these deliciously chocolatey cookies are invited to participate at all of the company’s store locations throughout Greater Philadelphia and New Jersey, including their cookie booth located at Reading Terminal Market, The Famous 4th Street Cookie Bakery in East Falls, and the Famous Cookie Creamery locations in Wildwood and Ocean City, New Jersey.
Cookies will also be available through online delivery apps, including DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Mercato.
This year, $1 cookies will be available on-site at 4004 Spruce St. in Spruce Hill as part of a special soft opening celebration for a new Famous Cookie Creamery location right across from University City. The full opening is set for Friday, Aug. 15.
During the soft opening, Famous 4th Street is inviting families from local Ronald McDonald Houses to visit between 4 and 6 p.m. to enjoy free cookies and ice cream, cookie decorating, and more. Famous 4th Street will also make a special donation of 300 cookies to the Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia.
In addition to their $1 deal, Famous 4th Street is also offering additional deals like Chocolate Chip Dipped Cookies designed for Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia for $5 at Reading Terminal Market (all proceeds will be donated). They will also have a donation box at the Reading Terminal Market booth displaying a QR code to donate to Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia.
Every customer who donates $10 or more will receive a free, individually wrapped cookie. Famous 4th Street will be handing out up to 500 free cookies throughout the day to shoppers at the Reading Terminal Market. A dozen chocolate chip cookies will be given out on the hour to patrons around the Market.
Already in effect, Famous 4th Street’s is running a National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day giveaway through their social media accounts. The winner will be chosen on Aug. 4 and will receive 100 chocolate chip cookies. In addition, the winner will have proceeds from the competition donated in their name to the Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia.
