SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (February 10, 2025) — Slime Kitchen, the premier slime-making experience sweeping the US, is announcing the grand opening of its newest franchise located in the Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville, Iowa. Slime Kitchen offers an unparalleled slime-making experience where people of all ages can build connections and spark creativity by creating personalized slime in a fun, hands-on environment.

“Our two daughters are absolutely obsessed with slime, so being able to bring Slime Kitchen to our community has been an exciting venture for us,” explains Maurice Williams, co-owner of the Coralville Slime Kitchen. Shelbie Williams, co-owner of the Coralville Slime Kitchen, along with Maurice, adds, “I believe this space will be a hub for creativity, laughter, and connection for families, kids, and slime enthusiasts in our area, as well as service groups that benefit from therapeutic, sensory-centered activities. We can’t wait to open our doors!”

Slime Kitchen’s immersive ten-step process guides customers as they select their base, choose scents, add colors, and incorporate mix-ins to create custom slimes as unique as their imaginations. Designed to ignite creativity and promote sensory learning, the experience transforms slime-making into a journey of connection and discovery.

“We’re thrilled to continue to bring Slime Kitchen to new communities across the U.S., especially in Iowa, as there are no experiences that are akin to what we offer,” says Kathy Ando, Founder of Slime Kitchen. “Slime Kitchen was born out of my daughter's love for slime, and as we continue to grow, it’s amazing to see the shared love so many people have for this joyful activity that truly brings us together.”

To celebrate the opening, the Coralville Slime Kitchen will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand-opening event on Thursday, February 20. Slime Kitchen invites the local community and those beyond to join in the fun and experience the magic of slime-making firsthand.

Slime Kitchen currently has nine locations, four of which are franchises, across California, Nevada, Oregon, and now Iowa. For more information, visit theslimekitchen.com or follow Slime Kitchen on social media @official_theslimekitchen.
