Texas’ first House of Bread opened in February at 7551 Eldorado Parkway, Ste. 100, McKinney. Franchisees Mechelle Coate and Dustin Marks decided to open the bakery after their children moved out and they found themselves as “empty nesters,” according to the bakery website. House of Bread bakes bread and pastries fresh each day. Other menu items include sandwiches, muffins and quiche. Gluten-free options are also available. House of Bread has locations in Alaska, California and Virginia. 214-842-8066. https://mckinney.houseofbread.com
