Ah Thanksgiving... the smell of your turkey roasting in the oven will have your guests drooling before they even step in your door, so why not engage them in some fun Thanksgiving party games to keep their stomachs in check till the bird is ready?

Half Baked Goodness, a cookie store known for its thick, gooey treats, will be the first new tenant announced for Grogan’s Mill Village Center, joining established businesses including Brother's Pizza, Ome Calli Café, Safeway Driving, The UPS Store, Woodforest National Bank, Brite Touch Cleaners (The Woodlands Cleaners), 4H Tailor and The Woodlands Farmer’s Market, which is held every Saturday morning. Grogan’s Mill Village Center is undergoing a transformative redevelopment, creating a modern community hub anchored by a Library and Community Center.

With a desire to offer the best options for health and wellness on the market, F45 Training is coming to Creekside Park West in The Woodlands.

F45 Training Creekside is owned by residents of The Woodlands, Alli and Steve Sullivan. The Sullivan’s involvement with the global franchise began in 2017 when they were looking for an opportunity to serve the community by improving lives through fitness. Interested in serving all levels – from those new to exercise to those who have included regular exercise in their daily routine for 20 or more years – the wholistic approach of F45 made sense to them. "We were attracted to the values and community culture of F45, which aligns perfectly with the spirit of The Woodlands, making it an ideal match for us," said Alli Sullivan.
