HKA Texas reported on November 10 that The Gelato Bar is preparing a location at:

7072 FM 1960 Road East, Suite 5A Atascocita Shopping Center, next to Potbelly Sandwich Shop.

This adds another dessert concept to watch along the Lake Houston corridor.

Status: Coming soon. No verified opening date was established, so this should not be treated as an operating business.

LOOKING AHEAD

Dolly-themed Open Play Mahjong — Final Gravity Brewpub.

Themed Karaoke with DJ KJ — Megaton Beerworks.

That “Blank” Show Comedy Open Mic — Charlie's Watch Bar.
