Kilwins to open 10 new Texas locations — with potential for more
A well-known sweets brand is expanding its retail footprint in the Lone Star State.
Michigan-based Kilwins, known for its hand-crafted chocolates and fudge, premium ice cream and more, has announced plans for 10 new store locations across Texas. Four stores are currently confirmed and under development in Waco, Midland, Cypress Waters (Dallas-Fort Worth area) and East Village (Austin). Two of these locations (Waco and Midland) are expected to open in June, while the Cypress Waters and East Village stores are scheduled to open by early 2026.
"Texas is a natural fit for Kilwins," said Brian Britton, president and CEO of Kilwins. "The climate supports year-round ice cream sales, the population is booming, and there's an ideal balance of family-centric communities and Midwestern transplants who already know and love the Kilwins brand."
The brand’s expansion in Texas will bring it to new retail environments. At The Sound in Cypress Waters, a lakefront development, Kilwins will become a part of a neighborhood community, while the The East Village store in Austin will bring the Kilwins experience to a walkable, urban hub.
Kilwins said that the 10 new stores are just a portion of its expansion plans for the state.
"We've identified more than 100 potential sites across Texas where Kilwins can flourish," said Britton. "Several additional Texas locations – including Cedar Park, Leander, Fort Worth Stockyards, Burleson, Frisco and Fulshear-Katy – are currently in site development. We're growing in vibrant, family-focused neighborhoods that crave connection and quality. Once people taste Kilwins, they want it in their town – or they want to open one themselves."
