New Marble Slab Creamery & Great American Cookies Planned in Katy’s Jordan Crossing, Bringing Sweet Expansion to Growing Corridor
A new dessert destination is on the horizon for Katy residents, as plans move forward for a Marble Slab Creamery & Great American Cookies location at 29807 Jordan Crossing Blvd, Suite 100, Katy, TX 77494—a project that reflects both the area’s rapid growth and the increasing demand for convenient, community-centered dining options.
According to permit filings, the 1,900-square-foot build-out is scheduled to begin construction on September 16, 2026, with an anticipated completion date of March 16, 2027. The project carries an estimated construction cost of $2.75 million, marking a notable investment in the Jordan Crossing corridor in Fort Bend County.
For families, homeowners and nearby neighborhoods, the addition represents more than just a new place to grab dessert—it’s another sign of how Katy continues to evolve into a more self-contained community where dining, shopping and everyday conveniences are increasingly close to home.
A Familiar Brand with a Hands-On Experience
Marble Slab Creamery is widely recognized for its signature small-batch ice cream made fresh in-store and its interactive serving style. Unlike traditional scoop shops, customers select mix-ins—from candies and cookies to fruits and nuts—which are then blended directly into the ice cream on a frozen granite “marble slab,” a method that gives the brand its name.
Founded in Houston in 1983, Marble Slab has grown into a nationally recognized brand while maintaining its roots in Texas. Its focus on customization and freshness has made it a long-standing favorite for families, celebrations and casual outings alike.
Paired with Great American Cookies, known for its fresh-baked cookies, signature Cookie Cakes, and Double Doozies® cookie sandwiches, the dual-concept store brings together two dessert favorites under one roof—offering both everyday treats and customizable options for celebrations.
What This Means for Katy Residents
The planned location in Jordan Crossing adds to a growing list of Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookies locations in the Katy area, helping to reduce travel time for residents who currently visit other nearby storefronts along major corridors like Grand Parkway and Cinco Ranch.
For nearby communities, the new store offers:
- A close-to-home option for birthday cakes, cookie cakes and celebrations
- A casual gathering place for families, students and neighbors
- Expanded dining and dessert choices within the Jordan Crossing development
- Continued commercial momentum that often supports nearby property values and retail growth

As more families move into the region, developers and brands are responding with projects that bring everyday amenities closer to where people live.
Dessert concepts, in particular, often follow residential growth, serving as both destination stops and neighborhood staples. Their presence can signal a shift from early-stage development to a more mature, established community with diverse offerings.
What Happens Next
Construction is expected to begin in fall 2026, with the new Marble Slab Creamery & Great American Cookies location projected to open in early 2027, barring any delays.
