Rendering of Shops at Arrow Point with Kilwins and neighboring tenants in Cedar Park

Kilwins Cedar Park plans bring fudge, chocolates and ice cream to a new retail lineup along Whitestone Boulevard. The brand is preparing its first Cedar Park shop at Shops at Arrow Point, alongside incoming neighbors Chewy Vet Care and Paris Baguette.

The address is 901 Arrow Point Drive, Building A, Suite 102. A new construction registration puts a physical location behind Kilwins’ earlier Cedar Park expansion plans. Separate state records identify the broader property as a Trader Joe’s-anchored development, giving the small sweets shop a much larger retail setting.

Kilwins Cedar Park Joins a New Retail Lineup

Shops at Arrow Point is a new retail development near East Whitestone Boulevard, also known as FM 1431. CSW Commercial, associated with Central Southwest Texas Development, lists the project among its Cedar Park properties.

Earlier state registrations outlined two new retail shell buildings totaling approximately 16,200 square feet. Individual tenant projects now show how that space will serve customers. Kilwins will occupy first-generation space, with an interior build-out creating its shop inside a new shell.

Building A brings together three distinct reasons to visit. Chewy Vet Care plans roughly 3,774 square feet in Suite 101. Kilwins takes approximately 1,200 square feet in Suite 102, while Paris Baguette plans a roughly 3,473-square-foot bakery-café in Suite 103.

The leasing plan places Kilwins between the veterinary-care space and Paris Baguette. For residents, that means a confectionery counter alongside everyday services and another food stop. The individual projects have separate schedules; their shared building does not establish a simultaneous opening.

Current development material also shows LaserAway and The Kebab Shop in the neighboring retail lineup, along with space still available. The rendering illustrates the planned mix, while the separate construction filings provide more specific evidence of tenant work.

Where Trader Joe’s Fits

A separate state registration for LaserAway names the facility “Trader Joe’s Anchored Development.” That record supports the grocery-anchor connection beyond the retail names shown on the storefront rendering.

The broader leasing plan labels the grocery building simply “Grocery Anchor.” The detailed retail view included here does not show that building. Those distinctions matter: the state record supplies the Trader Joe’s identification, while the plan helps readers understand the smaller storefront arrangement.

Elsewhere in Cedar Park, TCM has tracked J.Crew Factory’s plans at The Parke. That project adds a tenant to an established shopping center. Arrow Point shows another side of the city’s retail activity, with businesses preparing their first spaces in newly built shells.

Kilwins Cedar Park Builds on Earlier Expansion Plans

Kilwins had Cedar Park on its map before this filing. In June 2025, the company discussed signed franchise territories in Cedar Park, Leander and downtown Austin. An Austin Business Journal report republished by EastVillage described the company’s view that the Austin metro could support about 10 stores.

That figure described market potential, not 10 guaranteed openings. The Cedar Park project now gives one of those territories an address, a suite and a construction scope.

Kilwins’ current official location directory lists Georgetown and Austin’s EastVillage shop but no operating Cedar Park location. The planned shop would introduce the brand to Cedar Park while extending its existing Central Texas presence.

What the Kilwins Cedar Park Schedule Shows

State project TABS2027002053 outlines a tenant-funded, first-generation finish-out with an estimated construction cost of $350,000. It identifies Tapan Patel / Parina Inc. as tenant and CSW Arrow Point LP as owner.

The filed construction schedule runs from January 25 through May 7, 2027. Those dates describe anticipated work, not an announced opening.

Patel, president of Parina Inc., previously told What Now Austin that he hoped to open in March or April 2027. The newer filing lists work through May 7. With those timelines differing, customers should wait for a separate announcement before planning an opening-day visit.

Fudge, Chocolate and an Ice Cream Stop

Kilwins began in Petoskey, Michigan, in 1947. Its appeal combines an ice cream outing with a confectionery shop: customers can choose a scoop, browse chocolates or pick up sweets to take home.

The brand’s specialties include Mackinac Island Fudge, handcrafted chocolates, caramel apples and Original Recipe Ice Cream. Many shops make confections in view of customers, turning fudge preparation into part of the visit. Specific Cedar Park shop features will depend on the finished location.

For Cedar Park, the project adds a dessert destination to a development assembling food, services and grocery shopping in one place. Kilwins Cedar Park is a small storefront within that larger picture, but its arrival helps make the Shops at Arrow Point lineup more recognizable.
