Cooking with a Twist will open its first franchise location in Spring at 440 Rayford Road, Ste. 150, this fall. Chef DeeDee Coleman said the business is expected to open in October.

Cooking with a Twist is a hands-on cooking class studio for kids and adults.

“We do cooking classes for adults that vary from date night or girls night out to birthday and anniversary celebrations,” Coleman said. “We do kids birthday parties, field trips, spring and summer camps as well.”

Coleman said the Spring location will be larger than the original building, which is located in Stafford. As the first franchise, Coleman said she it will kick start several franchise opportunities throughout the state. 713-574-9371. www.cookingwithatwisthouston.com
