SAN MATEO COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) Debbi Fields, the founder of the popular Mrs. Fields cookies first opened in Palo Alto in 1977.
She was only 26 years old when she spoke to retired ABC7 Arts and Entertainment reporter Don Sanchez in November 1984. By the end of that year, she would have 65 stores and employed 600 employees with projected sales of $20 million.
Debbi Fields grew up in Oakland, and credits her (ex) husband Randy, for starting her business. He was genuinely concerned about whether or not the cookies would be successful in the marketplace, she said. But he believed in me, and I guess that s the most important thing. He gave me the money to make the first cookie store possible.
