In 1986, Blue Chip Cookies opened a store in Cincinnati, Ohio, a result of the city's efforts to market its nickname, "Blue Chip City". In 1998, Blue Chip Cookies was purchased by Edgewood, Kentucky-based B.C.C. Enterprises, a rare example of a franchisee that had grown larger than the franchisor. A privately held Loveland, Ohio-based company, acquired Blue Chip Cookies in November 2005 and opened a new store in Historic Downtown Loveland in June 2006. In January 2007, Blue Chip Cookie Company, Inc resumed franchising and licensing.
