A Taste of St. Louis Past

Dad's Original Scotch Oatmeal CookiesTM arrived in California from Scotland around 1900. Shortly thereafter, the parent company began selling rights to the company name, making Dad's Cookie Company one of the country's first franchised businesses. In 1927, one of the company's salesmen passed through St. Louis and visited Carpenter's Ice Cream on Goodfellow Avenue. After sampling the wares, Mr. Carpenter realized the unique flavor of the Scotch Oatmeal Cookie would ideally complement his ice cream so he obtained the franchise for the St. Louis area.

As Good Today as Yesterday!

Henry Renz Sr., a South St. Louis baker, bought Dad's Cookie Company from Carpenter's Ice Cream in 1938. The Renz bakery at the corner of Louisiana Avenue and Keokuk Street (shown below) became the new home of Dad's Cookie Company where it remains to this day.

Henry "Hank" Renz Jr. took over the family operation in 1949 and continued the time-honored methods handed down from his father.

And The Tradition Continues

In 1988, Dad's Cookie Company passed to yet another generation of the Renz family, the Hastey brothers. Dad's Cookie Company still provides the same old fashioned service and excellence our customers have enjoyed for over 60 years.

A visit to our shop is truly a step into the past. Many of our customers recall childhood visits to Dad's Cookie Company with a parent or grandparent. The antique wood, the glass display cases, and the marble counters have remained the same since 1938. We still weigh our cookies on the original bakery scale and wrap them in a brown paper bag tied with white string. Stop by to see us and start a family tradition of your very own.
