Peach Cobbler Factory

Not to be confused with Half-Peach Bakery... I saw on Louisville Takeout that a place specializing in peach cobbler, banana pudding, and cinnamon rolls is opening on Fri., June 4 at 805 Blankenbaker Pkwy! This is where the cookie dough place used to be. I googled it, and all I found was a place in Nashville, which may not be connected (the logo is different, but similar enough for me to be uncertain). Can't wait to try it!

The Courier Journal says this is a franchise of the Nashville business. And it's not just peach cobbler:

The Peach Cobbler Factory serves 12 kinds of cobbler, three kinds of cinnamon rolls and four types of banana pudding. Each cobbler can be served with or without ice cream for $7. Of the dozen flavors of cobbler, four are peach themed with peach, mango peach, strawberry peach, cinnamon peach praline and blackberry peach options. There's also honey apple, cherry, blackberry, strawberry and sweet potato pecan, among others.

Peach cobbler and banana pudding are my two favorite desserts. Nothing else is close. So I see a trip outside the Watterson in my future. Those trips don't happen often...with the exception of golf.

I prefer blackberry or raspberry cobbler, but peach is okay, too. I never tried the cookie dough place--one of my friends did, and was underwhelmed.

We tried it one time, it tasted okay but the price was totally ridiculous!

The Peach Cobbler Factory must really like this area. It's planning six more locations: downtown, Highlands, Mount Washington, Elizabethtown, Radcliff and Bardstown (no exact locations given for any of these).

According to the news release, the company has plans for more than 1,000 new locations in the next 36-48 months. That's certainly ambitious. It also reminds me of the way the Burgerim chain expanded rapidly and wound up imploding.

The local owners of the now-independent Burgerim in the Vogue Center managed to sail through that implosion and the pandemic, and seem to be popular. That's impressive.
