Established back in 1924 by Benjamin Tillman "Pop" Byrd, Sr. when he was just 28 years old, Byrd's Famous Cookies has a rich history that began in the charming city of Savannah, Georgia. Starting from a modest bakery located near City Market, Pop Byrd would personally deliver his freshly baked Scotch Oatmeal cookies to various stores around town using his trusty Model T Ford. These delectable cookies, often sold at '2 for a penny' from large glass jars, quickly captured the hearts of locals, establishing a loyal following that paved the way for the bakery's expansion.
With a growing demand for his renowned cookies, Pop Byrd made the pivotal decision to relocate the bakery closer to home in the quaint community of Sandfly. In 1929, he realized his dream by constructing a larger bakery facility, affectionately christened as "Byrd's Famous Cookies." This move not only marked a significant milestone in the bakery's evolution but also solidified its reputation as a beloved establishment cherished by many for its iconic Scotch Oatmeal cookie and expanding lineup of delectable treats.
