The Founders

Millie’s® was founded by husband and wife team Chad and Lauren Townsend in 2014, and has since grown from a small kitchen-counter operation to a thriving regional brand, Making Moments wherever we go.

We believe authenticity is key to our success, and this authenticity must not only completely encompass our product, but reach beyond it to our relationships with our associates, our community, our suppliers, and our franchise partners.
