August 31, 2026 // Franchising.com // MAGNOLIA, TX — The Flying Biscuit Café has signed a lease for its first café in Magnolia, Texas, at 5667 FM 1488, Suite D, Magnolia, TX 77354. Franchise partners Mitchell and Heather Wagner will own and operate the restaurant, which is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The site sits on FM 1488, Magnolia’s main commercial corridor, in Magnolia Village, alongside established local businesses.
The Wagners picked Magnolia before they picked a site. Both grew up in small Texas towns, and the two were married at The Meekermark, a few minutes from the new café. They live in the community they’re about to serve.
“We chose Flying Biscuit because it’s more than a restaurant — it’s a place where community comes together over great food and genuine hospitality. Magnolia already holds a special place in our hearts; we were married at The Meekermark here, and we’ve dreamed of putting down roots in this town ever since. Having both grown up in small towns in Texas, we know firsthand how much a place to gather means to a community, and we can’t wait to give Magnolia a spot where families and friends can create memories of their own,” said Mitchell Wagner, franchise partner, The Flying Biscuit Café of Magnolia.
Wagner is a U.S. Army veteran and a graduate of Texas State University. He spent 27 years leading sales and operations for two of the country’s largest retailers, running businesses with more than $100 million in revenue and teams of 300-plus. Heather Wagner joins him as co-owner. The two first ate at a Flying Biscuit on a trip to Charlotte and have been regulars since.
The Wagners plan to build the café around Magnolia’s families, schools, youth sports teams, churches and community organizations, and — as a veteran himself, Mitchell notes — its first responders, active military and fellow veterans. They also intend to join the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce.
Magnolia is the first of two cafés the Wagners have committed to develop under their agreement with the brand.
David J. Littwitz of Littwitz Investments, Inc. and Britton Lankford of The Woodmont Company brokered the transaction.
Magnolia will be Flying Biscuit’s sixth café in Texas, joining five Greater Houston locations: Cypress, East Downtown Houston, Kingwood, Memorial City and Richmond.
Founded in Atlanta in 1993, The Flying Biscuit Café has grown into a beloved neighborhood staple, known for its all-day breakfast, cheerful service, and comfort food with a twist. The menu features bold, Southern-inspired takes on brunch favorites — from stuffed French toast and famous shrimp and grits to hearty omelets, vegan scrambles, burgers, and wraps. Many locations also offer a full bar with brunch-forward cocktails, including mimosa flights and the signature “Stage 5 Clinger” Bloody Mary.
Flying Biscuit serves tens of thousands of biscuits every week and proudly provides full-service catering for events of all sizes. The brand is expanding rapidly through strategic franchise partnerships, with 43 locations open and 11 in development across Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas — and more on the way.
