The first Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery location in Shawnee is set to open later this week on the east side of the city near the corner of Quivira Road and Shawnee Mission Parkway.
The bakery chain — which specializes in a range of bundt cakes, including personal-sized and larger, tiered varieties — has a number of Johnson County locations already, including one in Overland Park and another in Olathe.
The Shawnee store is coming to the 10 Quivira Plaza shopping center at 12258 Shawnee Mission Pkwy., next to the Ernie Williamson Music shop. The center is also home to a Big Biscuit, Vintage Stock, Smoothie King and a Hallmark store.
Shawnee ribbon-cutting set for later in May
- The bakery’s doors will open officially on Friday, April 21.
- After that, the soft opening will run through the end of the month, franchise owner Bev Edwards said. She runs the franchise group with her husband Jim.
- Larger festivities, including a formal ribbon-cutting, are set for the beginning of May.
There are other KC-area Nothing Bundt Cakes locations
- The Edwards family already owns a number of Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise locations in the Kansas City metro.
- That includes one in Overland Park off of Metcalf Avenue that opened its doors about 10 years ago, and another in Mission on Johnson Drive.
- The family also has a couple more franchises on the Missouri side.
