1016 W. Poplar Ave.
Collierville, TN 38017

Square feet: 3,400

Tenant: Frost Bake Shop

Opening: August/July 2016

Details: An East Memphis bakery is preparing to add a second location in Collierville. Frost Bake Shop co-owner Bill Kloos Jr. says his sweet treat shop has picked out a spot at 1016 W. Poplar Ave. for store number two.

The deal was all but finished at week’s end, and he says the staff has already been informed about the new location, which will be identical to the current Laurelwood store – “Frost 1,” as Kloos calls it – in terms of the items sold.

One thing that will be different is the size – 3,400 square feet in Collierville, versus 2,000 square feet in Laurelwood.

“This was the next spot on our list,” Kloos said. “We wanted to be far enough away from Frost 1. We still plan to do one more store in the area, possibly two.”

Once renovation work is finished, he anticipates a possible July or August opening.

The additional space at the new location could be used for cooking classes or small parties among other possibilities, he said.

The expansion comes about three years from the opening of the Laurelwood location in August 2013.
