MEET THE TEAM
Flo Lease
Founder
23 Sept 1926 - 5 Jan 2017
My grandmother, Flo, was the founder of Flo's Scotch Shortbread. She humbly served her community of Cumberland, MD as a high school teacher for over 60 years. During the holidays and in the summer, she sold her famous Scottish shortbread cookies at the local Heritage Days festival and sold out EVERY year. After her passing in 2017, I chose to honor this magnificent woman by keeping her delicious shortbread thriving and available all year round.
Karlie Madden
Owner/Operator
Since 2018
As an active duty Air Force acquisitions officer, I'm currently stationed in the Florida Panhandle. And even though I work full-time, I bake during my time off, striving to ensure our customers always have a way to enjoy Flo’s Scotch Shortbread.
Chuck Madden
Sales/Moral Support
Since 2018
My husband, Chuck, is a retired Air Force veteran; he owns and operates his own successful fishing charter (Above the Salt Charters). This incredible man supports everything I do. He loved my grandmother and her cookies and was thrilled when I decided to keep this small part of my grandmother's tremendous legacy going. He's a top-notch salesman when we sell cookies at craft shows and festivals and a cookie-taster extraordinaire!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support and for allowing me the opportunity to do something I love.
Sincerely,
Karlie
