✨Business Spotlight-Laura's Cheesecake✨
Founded in 1989 by Mrs. Laura Bass, Laura’s Cheesecake began as a way to share family recipes and bring the community together. In 2021, after months of sharing weekly meals, a few trips and lot of laughter and life together, Mitchell and Suzanne Walker partnered with their friends Richard and Janie Witherspoon to purchase Laura’s and carry on Mrs. Laura’s legacy. Together, they are committed to using her original recipe and continuing the tradition of service with an extra measure of goodness and love.
In January 2023, Mitchell and Suzanne’s son, Chris Pearson, joined the team as Vice President of Operations, bringing fresh vision and energy to Laura’s. Chris has led exciting growth opportunities, including a new wholesale partnership where cheesecake slices produced in Laura’s bakery will be sold at The State Fair of Texas and in Costco stores across the state beginning this November.
Laura’s is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside family, friends, and their amazing community to share goodness and love — not only in Mount Pleasant, but now across the great state of Texas.
