    Dallas 'burb bags gourmet cinnamon roll shop of Shark Tank fame

    Here's a reason to move to Southlake: It'll be the first city in Texas to welcome a branch of Cinnaholic, a gourmet cinnamon roll bakery that was featured on Shark Tank in 2014.

    Cinnaholic occupies a unique niche: It's a custom cinnamon roll concept, with more than 30 frosting flavors and nearly two dozen toppings. You select a frosting such as maple or Irish cream, then add toppings such as fresh berries, nuts or gingersnap cookies. Everything is dairy-free, lactose-free, egg-free and cholesterol-free — which means Cinnaholic is also vegan.

    "We don't have a sign that says it's a vegan cinnamon roll," says co-owner Florian Radke. "Our big thing is that we're the first and only custom gourmet cinnamon roll shop."

    The company was launched in 2009 by baker Shannon Radke and her husband, Florian, in Berkeley, California. The Southlake branch, which will open this summer in the Wyndham Plaza at 2704 E. Southlake Blvd., is part of a first round of 10 new stores that also includes locations in Maryland, Delaware and North Carolina.

    Florian says their journey has been a wild ride, as they went overnight from a tiny shop in the Bay Area to a nationally known brand.

    "We opened our store in Berkeley, with the idea to see how it worked out," he says. "Suddenly we were on national television. While we were watching the episode, we could see the traffic growing on our website where it was almost freaking us out."

    Following Shark Tank, they were flooded with inquiries from people who were interested in the concept and found a group who could help them expand organically.

    Although their products are vegan, that's almost secondary, Florian says.

    "If you go into our store in Berkeley, we don't have a sign that says it's a vegan cinnamon roll," he says. "Our big thing is that we're the first and only custom gourmet cinnamon roll shop, with frosting flavors and toppings. We're like a Cold Stone Creamery for cinnamon rolls."

    He says they're also part of a trend toward more high-quality desserts.

    "It's similar to the doughnut shops, where you spend money on one treat," he says. "This is a cinnamon roll made to order made just for you. It's pricier than the competitors you see at the mall, but it's a better product. And then we also cater to the people with dairy and egg allergies.

    "We get a lot of moms with kids that can't have dairy. But then we have customers who have no idea it's vegan at all."

    Florian and Shannon Radke founded Cinnaholic in Berkeley, California.

    Chicken N Pickle to bring pickleball and rotisserie chicken to Allen

    After more than two years in the works, pickleball chain Chicken N Pickle is coming to Allen. According to a release, the company known for helping to usher in the pickleball trend will open a location at The Farm, the mixed-use development at SH-121 and Alma Road on May 13.

    Located at 1221 Johnson Rd., the venue will encompass nearly four acres with eight pickleball courts — six indoor and two outdoor covered — plus dining areas on two levels, a sports bar, beer garden, and yard games such as cornhole, battleship, and giant Jenga.

    Founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 2017, Chicken N Pickle has NFL players among its investors including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. There are currently 12 locations; Allen, which was originally penciled in for Allen in 2022, is the third in the Dallas area following the original in Grapevine and another in Grand Prairie.

    In a statement, CEO Brad Clarke says the concept creates an inclusive environment.

    "We like to think of our concept as the ultimate backyard hangout – one you'll never want to leave; it's a space where everyone can connect and celebrate with great food, drinks, and unforgettable moments together," Clarke says.

    The menu is centered around rotisserie chicken served with sliced avocado and a flour tortilla; plus sandwiches, wings, fries, and tots. But there are also a few healthy dishes as well such as hummus; sides like grilled broccolini and beets with arugula; and a powerbowl with sweet potato, kale, and avocado. Sandwiches and entrees range from $10 to $18.

    There are cocktails like a spicy blackberry margarita, local beer, plus brunch and a weekday happy hour with $2 off drinks.

    They're planning a slate of activities during grand opening week, including a doggy day, open play, family night, and teacher night.

    Company founder Dave Johnson says they're dedicated to being the top pickleball entertainment destination while still maintaining a personal touch and strong local connections in every community.

    "We're confident that Chicken N Pickle will quickly become a must-visit destination in Allen for guests seeking food and fun in a welcoming atmosphere," Johnson says.
