Vicki Melo is the founder and baker at Sugar Mama Cookie Company, which started as a home-based cookie business and has grown into a city-wide delivery service. She currently operates a storefront in St. Boniface, Manitoba, offering 15 cookie flavors, custom orders, catering, and a subscription box service. The business empowers women in Winnipeg by an emphasis on employing women and has benefited from the support and loyalty of Winnipeggers. Vicki hopes to open Sugar Mama locations across Canada and donate a portion of all proceeds to help other women entrepreneurs, particularly mothers, reach their business goals.
