What you describe kinda sorta happened in 2013 NYC with the introduction of the cronut.
A baker created a new type of croissant and it exploded in popularity - overnight success.
It wasn’t long before Dunkin Donuts was selling their own cronuts (they had to use a different name for them though, the baker had trademarked the original name).
