Nothing Bundt Cakes is bringing its frosting-heavy cakes to the Retail Center at Conroe, with a planned bakery at 10463 Highway 242, Suite 221. Construction is slated to begin in early February and, if the schedule holds, wrap by mid-May, putting a spring 2026 opening within reach. The new shop will add another sweets option to the Highway 242 retail corridor and join the brand’s growing presence across the Houston area.
Who’s behind the Conroe shop?
GSR Group, described as a multi-unit franchise operator, is listed as the franchisee behind the Conroe location, according to WhatNow. Raul Agrawal, GSR’s co-founder and president, told the outlet his group is managing the buildout but declined to share further public details about staffing or a firm opening date.
Where it will sit and the timeline
Per a state project record filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the new storefront is registered as Suite 221 in the Retail Center at Conroe, and the filing estimates interior work will run from the beginning of February to mid-May 2026. That timetable would allow the bakery to start serving customers before the end of spring, if inspections and permitting proceed on schedule.
Brand growth and the local footprint
Nothing Bundt Cakes began in 1997 in Las Vegas, founded by two friends, Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz, according to the company’s official history. The chain has expanded rapidly; the brand’s site notes hundreds of bakeries nationwide, and local reporting says the company has nearly 700 locations across North America, with more than 100 in Texas and at least a dozen in the Greater Houston area as it pushes to add roughly 1,000 more bakeries by 2027. Those details are drawn from Nothing Bundt Cakes.
What to watch next
Residents tracking the opening can monitor the state project record for inspection and permit updates; the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation listing will reflect schedule changes and final sign-offs. If the timeline holds, the Conroe storefront should appear on the brand’s bakery finder after construction and inspections are complete.
