FAT Brands, the parent company of the Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery restaurant concepts, has signed two development agreements to open ten co-branded stores across Texas, US.

The co-branded Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery locations will be opened across the state over the next five years.

Offerings from Marble Slab Creamery include ice cream cakes, shakes in a range of flavours and handcrafted, small-batch ice cream with free, limitless mix-ins.

Menu items from Great American Cookies include brownies and double doozies, which are cookies with frosting between them.

FAT Brands chief development officer Taylor Wiederhorn stated: “Both Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery have become a go-to destination for sweets in Texas.

“At FAT Brands, we continue to see strong growth potential for the brands as a co-branded concept, offering a one-stop-shop for all things cookie cakes, homemade ice cream, and more. As Texas grows, so will we.”

FAT Brands opened its first Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery co-branded location in Clackamas County, Happy Valley, Oregon, in September 2023 - a first for both brands in the Pacific Northwest region.

FAT Brands QSR division president Allison Lauenstein said at the time: “We are thrilled to introduce our co-branded Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery concept to the Pacific Northwest for the first time.

“Both brands are known worldwide for crafting mouth-watering freshly made sweets, including cookie cakes, cookies, and ice cream that bring joy to our customers.

“With this opening marking the first in the region, we’re excited to create an unparalleled dessert experience that will resonate with the Happy Valley community and residents in the greater Portland area.”
