Nothing Bundt Cakes

Nothing Bundt Cakes is a specialty bakery chain that focuses exclusively on Bundt cakes, offering a range of flavors, sizes, and seasonal varieties. The company was founded in 1997 by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz in Las Vegas, starting as a home-based business before quickly gaining traction and expanding into a national brand. A key milestone in its history was the transition from local favorite to a franchise-driven concept, which enabled rapid growth and consistent quality across locations.

As of May 2025, Nothing Bundt Cakes operates more than 700 bakeries across over 40 U.S. states and Canada, with ambitions to reach 1,000 stores by 2027. The past five years have seen the brand accelerate its expansion, opening over 100 new locations in 2024 alone and entering new markets while also increasing its presence in established regions. The company’s focus on a single product line has supported efficient scaling and strong brand recognition, with each bakery handcrafting cakes daily and offering additional options like Bundtlets and Bundtinis, as well as party and gifting services.

Ownership by Roark Capital Group has provided additional resources and stability, supporting ongoing growth and operational improvements. The brand has also adapted to changing consumer preferences by introducing limited-time flavors and partnerships with major brands, broadening its appeal and keeping the concept fresh. Most locations are run by independent franchise owners, and the company’s straightforward format fits well in a variety of retail and lifestyle centers.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Nothing Bundt Cakes stands out as a stable and growing tenant with a proven track record, a clear and consistent store format, and a strong reputation for quality and guest experience. The company’s expansion across North America signals continued demand and a reliable presence in both new and established retail environments.
