The Creators Of Debbie-Jo's Sugar Cookies Showing No Signs Of Crumbling

It takes a tasty cookie to compete with the Keeblers and Nabiscos of the world.

For the past three decades, Debbie-Jo's sugar cookies have been holding their own against these major corporations on the shelves of local grocery and convenience stores.

The cookies are baked in a small building wedged between an alley and a row home in the 300 block of South Sixth Street by owner Tom Curtin and a team of six dedicated employees.
