Melissa "Mei Mei" Abdouch, Mei Mei's Cookies and Creamery

Tyler Mason

Seven years ago, Melissa Abdouch had to pivot her career after losing her job in the corporate world. She decided to open Mei Mei's Cookies and Creamery in downtown River Falls, and the store has been a hit in the community ever since.

On this week's episode of St. Croix Stories, Mei Mei joins to share more about the origins of her store, the lessons she's learned along the way, and her vision for the future of Mei Mei's Cookies and Creamery. Mei Mei also gives an update on her recent battle with cancer — she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May — and explains why she said her cancer diagnosis was "annoying." All of that and more on St. Croix Stories.
