Great American Cookies, known since 1977 for the Original Cookie Cake and its signature chocolate chip cookie recipe, offers desserts including brownies and Double Doozies. A Double Doozie consists of icing sandwiched between two cookies.

Marble Slab Creamery has been an innovator in the ice cream industry for four decades with its frozen slab technique and homemade, small-batch ice cream with free unlimited mix-ins, shakes and ice cream cakes.

Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery president Allison Lauenstein said: “Texas continues to be a key area of growth for Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery – in particular, the Dallas and Houston areas.”

In November 2024, FAT Brands extended its reach with the opening of outlets for its other brands, including a Pretzelmaker store in Clear Lake, Iowa, in the US, and five new Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express restaurants in Mexico City.

In addition to expanding their physical presence, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery have introduced a new app and loyalty programme. The initiative allows customers to earn points and rewards for purchasing desserts, enhancing their engagement with the brands.
