Sweet News for Anniston: Marble Slab Creamery & Great American Cookies Coming to Plaza at Elyson

October 21 2025

A delicious new addition is on its way to the Plaza at Elyson, bringing a double scoop of excitement for Anniston-area residents. Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookies will open a new location at 22229 FM 529, Suite 104, Katy, TX 77493 — nestled conveniently between Target and Burlington, just west of the Grand Parkway.

According to official permit filings, construction on the 1,600-square-foot space is set to begin in April 2026, with a projected completion date of October 21, 2026. Privately funded and estimated at $250,000, the build-out will bring the popular sweets duo to one of the fastest-growing retail hubs in the region.

The upcoming store will offer families and dessert lovers in Anniston and nearby Katy neighborhoods a one-stop shop for customizable ice cream creations and freshly baked cookies. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, grabbing a treat after school, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, the combo store promises something for everyone.

A Legacy of Sweets and Smiles

Marble Slab Creamery, founded in Houston in 1983, revolutionized the ice cream scene by introducing the concept of mixing ice cream and toppings on a frozen granite slab. Known for its hand-crafted small-batch ice cream made fresh in-store, Marble Slab offers an indulgent variety of flavors — from classic sweet cream to out-of-the-box creations like cotton candy or birthday cake. Guests can pick their base, mix in toppings ranging from fresh fruit to candy bars, and watch their custom creation come to life.

Great American Cookies also has deep roots in the South, originating in Atlanta in 1977. It rose to fame with its original chocolate chip cookie recipe and iconic Cookie Cakes, becoming a beloved brand across malls and communities nationwide. Today, the brand serves up a wide variety of cookies, brownies, and celebratory cookie cakes — each baked fresh daily with quality ingredients and time-tested recipes.

A Perfect Match for Anniston Families

The combination of creamy, mix-in ice cream and warm, gooey cookies makes this dual-concept store a crowd-pleaser, especially for family outings and after-school hangouts. Located in the growing Elyson area, the new Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookies is poised to become a favorite local stop for nearby residents of Anniston, Elyson, and the broader FM 529 corridor.

With sweet treats, customizable desserts, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere, the new shop will add to the family-friendly appeal of the Plaza at Elyson — located in one of Katy's most dynamic and evolving shopping centers.

As construction gets underway next spring, locals can look forward to updates and grand opening announcements closer to fall 2026. For now, one thing is clear: Anniston’s dessert scene is about to get a whole lot sweeter.
