Nothing Bundt Cakes co-founder Dena Tripp is preparing to open Shook Shakery, an independent milkshake chain with four planned locations across Henderson and Las Vegas. The first shop is targeting an August 2026 launch, followed by three additional openings through early 2027.
Tripp is developing the Nevada concept with her son, Sean, and Jessica Spencer, a former Nothing Bundt Cakes employee. She is no longer affiliated with the bakery chain she co-founded in Las Vegas in 1997.
Shook Shakery locations and opening timeline
The first store is planned for 3360 St. Rose Parkway in Henderson. Three Las Vegas locations are expected to follow:
- 6235 S. Durango Drive: September 2026
- 8705 West Deer Springs Way: Mid-fall 2026
- 4693 Blue Diamond Road: Late 2026 or early 2027
These are estimated opening windows, not confirmed grand-opening dates. The shops are expected to operate daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with drive-thru and outdoor walk-up ordering instead of traditional indoor dining.
The small takeaway format is designed for quick service. Other food businesses are using different expansion models, including Dunkin’s plan for hundreds of new Canadian stores. Shook Shakery has not announced locations outside Southern Nevada.
What is on the Shook Shakery menu?
The menu has 15 milkshakes divided into The Classics, The Fancy and The Fun. Recipes combine ice cream with house-made vanilla, chocolate, pink or brown sugar cake, along with fruit, cookies, coffee, caramel and other mix-ins.
The Classics are Vanilla Waves, Coco Dream, Let’s Jam, Cinnamon Girl and Mint Condition. The Fancy selection includes Wakey Shakey, Groovin’ Granny, Pinky Promise, Mellow Yellow and Lady Joe.
The Fun range consists of It’s My Party, Nutter Vibes, Shookies and Cream, Whirly Zoo and Summer of Love. Vanilla Waves and Summer of Love will have dairy-free versions. Complete ingredients are listed on the official Shook Shakery menu.
Shake prices and allergy guidance
Each shake is expected to cost $9, with a small additional charge for toppings and add-ons. A complete add-on price list has not been released.
Customers with allergies should confirm ingredients and preparation methods before ordering. Menu items contain or reference milk, peanuts, almonds, cake and cookies, creating possible allergen or cross-contact risks. A dairy-free shake may not be suitable for every dietary requirement.

Tail Spin sales will support a pet charity
Shook Shakery will offer Tail Spin, a frozen treat made for dogs. The company says $1 from every sale will be donated to a local pet charity, although the beneficiary has not been identified.
Tripp’s experience building a national specialty-dessert business gives the new venture an established industry background. Shook Shakery joins a competitive market where focused menus are supporting openings such as Crumbl’s planned bakery in Barrie.
Customers should check the company’s official channels for exact opening dates because the current schedule may change as construction and store preparations continue.
