54 minutes

A Zoom sit-down conversation with Martha Rossini, the founder, and namesake behind The Great Minnesota Get Together and State Fair staple, Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar. Minnesota-born and raised, Martha shares over the next hour with Duluth Pack's CEO, Tom Sega, about her incredibly impressive transition and growth in her professional career from being a school teacher, to starting a frozen yogurt company, to hitting her peak and co-founding and operating Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar. For over 40+ years, Martha and her business partners have established themselves as a classic in the state of Minnesota and explain the process of baking over 44,000 cookies every 12 minutes, selling 6,000 gallons of ice-cold milk, and now the expansive distribution of frozen cookie dough in regional grocery stores. They don't call her sweet Martha for nothing – with her incredibly kind demeanor, family-oriented mindset, and creative concepts - talk about the ultimate recipe for success. Enjoy this week's episode of Leader of the Pack; a podcast by Duluth Pack.
