One year after coming to Overland Park, a Utah-based cookie and soda chain plans to open a second Johnson County location.

Twisted Sugar is unveiling its Shawnee storefront at 15810 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Suite D, on Sept. 29, said franchise owner Jacob Zaugg.

Cookie flavors include banana cream, raspberry lemon and chocolate crinkle. Zaugg said business has been a success at the first area location, at 11929 W. 119th St.

“It has been a lot of fun, and people have really enjoyed our cookies,” he said.

In addition to its array of cookies, Twisted Sugar sells soda with added flavors, brookies (a brownie and cookie combination) and milkshakes, or “twisters.”

The location joins a growing number of cookie chains in the area. California original Cookie Co. opened two shops in Johnson County earlier this year, courtesy of former Chiefs player Jordan Devey.

Crumbl Cookies — another Utah-based company — has opened multiple locations in the Kansas City area since 2021. It first opened in Overland Park at 6780 W. 135th St.
