Send us Fan MailWhen Jenn McMillen began her role as Vice President of Guest Loyalty and Insights at Nothing Bunt Cakes in November 2024, she was tasked with the enormous responsibility of jumpstarting a loyalty program that was essentially dormant. Launched nationally two months earlier in tandem with the launch of the company's new app, Bundt Rewards was a loyalty program in name only, as McMillen describes it. “We went national in September of 2024, but we literally didn't have an onboarding series, and we didn't even have offers,” she said. “So, we launched this loyalty program, and nobody did anything with it.” For Nothing Bundt Cakes, her expertise came at the right time. McMillen first established herself in the loyalty industry in 1998, at age 27, when she launched Blockbuster Awards, the rewards program for the iconic video rental chain, Blockbuster.

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric dive into the surprising $2 billion sale of Nothing Bundt Cakes and unpack what it says about franchising, private equity, branding, and scaling a simple business model into a nationwide empire. Along the way, they debate whether private equity ruins beloved brands, swap stories about junk food cravings, cake shakes, and Vegas dessert spots, and explore why some businesses become cultural staples while others disappear overnight. It's a fun conversation filled with business lessons hiding inside frosting and franchise fees. On this episode we talk about: The $2 billion acquisition of Nothing Bundt Cakes and why the valuation shocked Travis and Eric How private equity firms evaluate food and franchise businesses Why simple restaurant concepts often scale better than complicated menus The economics behind franchise royalties, marketing fees, and expansion Whether acquisitions actually ruin product quality — or if consumers just assume they do The psychology of dieting, cravings, and moderation when it comes to junk food Why businesses like Chipotle, Raising Cane's, and Dave's Hot Chicken scale so efficiently How attention, branding, and operational simplicity create massive enterprise value The surprising size and reach of the Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise network Travis and Eric's favorite cakes, desserts, and Vegas food spots Connect with Travis: Instagram: @TravisChappell Other: travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: Are you ready to start your own creator journey and make it big?

What happens when a new business turns from WTF to OMG? That happened to me and Nothing Bundt Cakes. When they first opened in Annapolis, my initial thought was, bundt cakes?? And then I tried one. Ditch any preconceptions of a dry, dense plate of meh! These are moist, creamy, and delicious, and come in a dozen flavors and many sizes! We recently sat down with owners Glenn and Rhonda Rogers and their Area Director, Samantha Colletti, to talk about bundt! Some fun facts for you. They are all baked fresh daily in the back of the store--each location has its own bakery. The couple currently has three locations (Annapolis, Gambrills, and Severna Park), with another one on the way (Bowie), and potentially FOUR more shortly. Apparently, there is a demand for bundt cakes! If you need a dose of yum... Have a listen! LINKS: Nothing Bundt Cakes (Website) Nothing Bundt Cakes (Facebook) Nothing Bundt Cakes (Instagram)

It's Eric's birthday along with the Earl of Sandwich and Steve Zayn. Stacy fetes the big day with Nothing Bundt Cakes and kind words; after all, it is World Kindness Day! The latest for Eric is his almost complete deck, the newly installed solar panels, and his (and Gertie's) medical checkup. Ironically both father and (dog) daughter have high cholesterol for which one of them takes a pill the size of a grain of rice. Eric is healthy otherwise, but Gertie might need a little extra help. Although Eric does need periodontal surgery and in sharing his pre-appointment, he tells the story of how the assistant unceremoniously told him about a booger. He about died from embarrassment. Meanwhile Stacy may have given some rando guy her fries today assuming he is unhoused cringe or kind? For their Cultural Blindspots, both Stacy and Eric watched movies set in November which is rare. Stacy watched “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” while Eric revisited the “Back to The Future” trilogy the first of which is celebrating its' 40th Anniversary! Eric also recommended the “Death by Lightening” series about James Garfield; arguably a period in history that is also a blind spot. The episode ends with the common theoretical question, “What 3 things would we take on a deserted island?” Clearly Eric is more hopeful with his choices, Stacy's eating chicken.

After working in health care and living all over the United States and Europe as a military wife for 20 years, I decided to move back home to North Florida and open a cake bakery in Panama City. It was time to put roots down for my two young daughters and be close to family again. As a local owner and entrepreneur, I wanted to bring a brand with national recognition and appreciation to Bay County. In February 2023, I opened the Nothing Bundt Cakes located in the Hobby Lobby shopping center at Highway 77 and 23rd Street.At Nothing Bundt Cakes, we handcraft Bundt cakes in our local bakery using real ingredients like butter, eggs, and cream cheese. We offer a variety of delicious flavors, such as red velvet, chocolate chocolate chip, and lemon, to name a few. Each cake can be topped with unique cake decorations for an extra special treat. With a wide selection of retail items, including party supplies, décor, and gifts, our bakery is the perfect one-stop celebration shop.The core values of the Nothing Bundt Cakes brand are a servant's heart and the spirit of a champion. We live these core values in our local bakery every day by giving back to our community. We offer fundraising opportunities to local schools, athletic teams, and organizations to help them meet their financial needs. We also partner with organizations, such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bay County and Florida Hands & Voices, to give a percentage of our sales back to the community.Owning a new business has been an adventure, but one that I have loved. I am making sweet new memories with my daughters, and being home again in North Florida has been the frosting on the cake.We are open Monday -Saturday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. and are located at 506 Hawkins Ave, Panama City (Hobby Lobby shopping center).

We got Chris back in the building and he came with some baggage. He recently bet Lendery that the 49ers would beat the Chiefs. Whoever's team one, the bet was to pay 12 Monaco's and 2 bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes; if said team won by 21... The winnings doubled and guess what? You guessed it... Chris brought back 24 Monaco's & 4 Bundt cakes! Our first story is none other than the hottest thing happening, Kanye losing his deals. After a recent Drink Champs that was later taken down, he went on and said a lot of things that were out of line and caused everything that followed. (7:43) A dad refused to walk his daughter down the aisle because the man she's marrying is her sisters ex boyfriend. The other sister has since married and had kids but did not attend the wedding and father paid but did not walk her down the aisle. If you're dad in this situation, what would you do? (35:16) A Washington State federal court ruled in favor of a group of baristas, they were serving coffee in bikini's. Somebody snitched and the court said you can't tell them how to serve coffee. Would you go to a coffee shop where they served coffee in bikinis or is that too crazy in the morning? (55:06)

Franchise owner of Nothing Bundt Cakes, Charlie Shabazz, visit Money Making Conversations Master Class. Listen as she shares the twist and turns that led her to franchising Nothing Bundt Cakes. We discuss how she overcame her fears, uprooted her life and let go of her safety blanket. From tax professional to store owner, pivoting when necessary in order to keep her dream alive.Charlie Shabazz left Philly as a CPA and worked as VP of a national bank. However her plans quickly changed as she sought to capitalize on opportunity. Tune in to this incredible story of perseverance and commitment.More on Nothing Bundt Cakes:"To find the perfect recipe, you first need the perfect ingredients. And that's what our founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other. In 1997, they joined forces, or better yet kitchens, to make cakes for their friends and family. The cakes they made were delicious, unlike anything anyone had tasted. As a result, their friends and family asked them to entertain more and more.They quickly realized this side project of theirs could be something more. There was a gap in the world for delicious cakes, readily available, that didn't compromise on their ingredients. Real eggs, butter and cream cheese; nothing was too good to achieve perfection. And perfection is that decadent, slowly melting bite of cake we all know and love.Flash forward and the Nothing Bundt Cakes brand has grown nationwide. Built on Dena and Debbie's vision, each bakery still has the warmth and nostalgia of its home-kitchen roots, but we also take a modern approach for the world today. So whether you're enjoying a Bundt Cake or a Bundtinis®, one thing is certain – perfection is all we offer." - Nothing Bundt CakesFOLLOW NOTHING BUNDT CAKES AT…Instagram: @NothingBundtCakesTuckerGA Facebook: @NothingBundtCakesSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
