Petoskey, Mich. — Kilwins, a beloved American confectionery brand known for hand-crafted chocolates, super-premium ice cream and warm, nostalgic in-store experiences, is set to expand its footprint in Texas in a big way, announcing plans for 10 new locations across the state. With store openings scheduled to begin this summer, the expansion marks a strategic move into one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.
“Texas is a natural fit for Kilwins,” says 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.”
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 are expected to open in mid-2025: Waco and Midland. The Cypress Waters and East Village stores are scheduled to open by early 2026.
“We’ve identified more than 100 potential sites across Texas where Kilwins can flourish,” says 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.”
Since its founding in 1947, Kilwins has delighted generations with hand-crafted confections and genuine customer service, creating memorable customer experiences with a sense of nostalgia. With more than 175 locations in 28 states, the company continues to expand its footprint while maintaining its dedication to traditional craftsmanship and community engagement.
