Hey, I'm Marissa Allen

Marissa Allen is the co-founder of Cookie Society, a high volume, luxury bakery with multiple retail locations and a key position in the e-commerce gift space.

With the support of her husband, former NFL player, Jeff Allen, that dogged determination led to the establishment of Cookie Society. 

Marissa's background in marketing and branding coupled with her work ethic and athletic background have been key to her success. Marissa is a former collegiate athlete, finishing her athletic career with the Fighting Illini Women’s Soccer team at the University of Illinois. 

In addition to working with her husband to grow and nurture Cookie Society, Marissa is also passionate about raising her children, photography and feeding her family and friends.
