Open for Business: NoBaked Cookie Dough

NoBaked Cookie Dough
A franchise store of Nashville, Tennessee-based NoBaked Cookie Dough began serving sweet treats April 17 in the Fremont Corners shopping center. At 1364 E. Republic Road, the shop offers raw, edible cookie dough by the scoop, with flavors including s’more, red velvet and cinnamon roll. Prices start at $5 a scoop, and the menu also has coffee, sundaes and milkshakes, according to its website. NoBaked Cookie Dough franchisees Michael Lassen and Kyler Steding signed a five-year lease for the roughly 1,300-square-foot shop formerly occupied by Star Cakes. Lassen said lease payments are less than $2,000 per month. Undisclosed franchise terms were negotiated by Lassen, who said the company typically charges a $30,000 franchise fee, 6% royalties and 1% for marketing. The duo is targeting four more shops within the next two years.

Opened May 18 at Branson Landing, the business has eight lanes for axe throwing and two dart boards, said Carrie Green, who handles group sales for the Lake Taneycomo marina. Startup costs were not disclosed. The attraction, which plans to host tournaments, is located south of Bass Pro Shops in the outdoor shopping center at 9 S. Boardwalk. According to its website, pricing is $10 per person for groups of two to four people for a 30-minute session. For groups of five or more, pricing for a 30-minute session is $8 per person. Free axe-throwing lessons are offered based on lane availability.
