Targeted Expansion in Key Markets Nationwide
Kilwins is expanding into key markets across the nation, bringing our hand-crafted chocolates, caramel, fudge, and super-premium ice cream to communities eager to experience our full array of sweet treats. Our Texas franchise strategy is central to this growth, offering entrepreneurs the chance to introduce Kilwins to new neighborhoods along the Texas Gulf Coast, meeting strong local demand for high-quality desserts. Each location is designed to provide a welcoming, interactive environment where guests can enjoy freshly made sweets, engage with our skilled team members, and share lasting moments with friends and family.
Building on our national momentum, we’re focusing on the Greater Houston–Galveston region as a primary target. Over the next few years, we plan to open 13 locations across this market, giving franchise owners the opportunity to bring the Kilwins experience to communities that value both tradition and innovation. With options for single-unit and multi-unit franchising, we provide entrepreneurs with the training and resources needed to grow their business while creating memorable experiences for guests at every location and strengthening local community ties.
A Sweet Texas Franchise with Kilwins
With over 180 locations and counting, Kilwins continues to share our passion for providing dessert lovers with a variety of treats for everyone. Whether it’s our hand-paddled fudge, caramel cooked in traditional copper kettles, hand-crafted chocolates, or Original Recipe Ice Cream served with freshly made waffle cones, guests have come to rely on Kilwins for generations to satisfy their sweet tooth and enjoy unforgettable moments with friends and family.
As we continue expanding in densely populated areas like East Tennessee, we’re equally focused on Texas franchise growth, particularly in the Greater Houston–Galveston region, with future plans for Austin and Dallas–Fort Worth as well. This approach reflects our goal of bringing delicious options to communities across the state.
Amid this expansion, we welcome business-savvy franchise owners ready to introduce the Kilwins experience to new neighborhoods, providing guests with high-quality sweets, engaging in-store experiences, and the chance to enjoy a truly unique dessert destination.
