Conroe and Montgomery, TX – The vibrant communities of Conroe and Montgomery are experiencing a significant economic uplift this year, with a wave of new businesses opening their doors and a long-standing establishment undergoing a substantial expansion. These developments are enriching the local landscape, particularly in the dining, retail, and healthcare sectors, and signaling robust growth across the region.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time for Conroe and Montgomery,” stated Danielle Harris, President of the Conroe-Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce. “The influx of new businesses and expansions not only creates jobs and stimulates our local economy but also provides our residents with more diverse choices and enhanced services right here in their backyard. It reflects the confidence entrepreneurs have in our growing communities.”

Leading the charge in culinary experiences is **The Kitchen Montgomery**, which welcomed its first patrons in early 2025. Located at 22100 Eva St., Ste. 100, in Montgomery, the establishment has revitalized the former Eatery at Waterpoint space. Owner Jennifer Coyle has infused the location with a fresh, inviting vibe, offering a diverse menu that caters to all-day dining. Patrons can enjoy everything from specialty coffee and freshly baked pastries, including items from the integrated Bakery at The Kitchen, to hearty sandwiches, comforting soups, and crisp salads. The Kitchen also provides convenient grab-and-go and take-and-bake meals, perfect for busy families. “We saw a real need for a versatile dining spot that offers quality food from morning till night,” Coyle shared. “Our goal is to be a community hub where everyone feels welcome, whether they’re grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a leisurely dinner.”

Mid-2025 also saw the highly anticipated arrival of **The Toasted Yolk Cafe** in Conroe, situated at 2108 N. Frazier St. This popular breakfast and lunch spot, co-founded by Chris Milton, quickly gained a reputation for its generous portions and lively atmosphere, bringing a sought-after brunch experience to the area. The extensive menu features classic breakfast staples like fluffy eggs, golden pancakes, crispy waffles, and gourmet omelets, alongside a selection of gourmet sandwiches, refreshing soups, and salads. “Conroe has been on our radar for a while, and the community’s response has been fantastic,” said Milton. “We’re thrilled to bring our unique twist on breakfast and lunch to this growing city, providing a vibrant spot for friends and families to gather.”

For those with a sweet tooth, **The Baked Bear** launched in early 2025 at 3709 W. Davis St., Ste. 100, Conroe. Owner Sarah Johnson has created a customizable dessert haven specializing in custom ice cream sandwiches. Customers can craft their perfect treat by choosing from an array of freshly baked cookies, brownies, or donuts, paired with a variety of premium ice cream flavors. Beyond the iconic sandwiches, the shop also serves decadent milkshakes, towering sundaes, and individual scoops. “There’s nothing quite like the joy of building your own ice cream sandwich,” Johnson explained. “We love seeing our customers get creative, and it’s been wonderful to become a go-to spot for unique desserts and sweet celebrations in Conroe.”

Healthcare options in Conroe significantly expanded in fall 2025 with the opening of **Total Care ER Conroe** at 2595 N. Frazier St., Ste. 1.
