Atlanta-based entrepreneur Kamal Grant is looking to deliver a deliciously nostalgic experience with his new Magic Middles product.
Grant, who already owns Sublime Doughnuts, is looking to once again leave his mark on the bakery industry with a new filled-cookie product. Magic Middles are delicious chocolate-filled shortbread cookies that come individually wrapped. The idea was inspired by Grant's love of the loved Keebler brand Magic Middles cookies in the 1990s and a desire to bring back that nostalgic snacking experience. Since Keebler had discontinued the Magic Middles brand, Grant was free to pick up the name and create his own version of the signature treat.
Currently, Magic Middles are available online through Amazon, or in-person at his two Sublime Doughnuts stores in Atlanta and from his two kiosks inside Mercedes Benz stadium.
