The bakery cafe chain had a strong third quarter, awarding 32 franchise agreements, signing 22 leases and opening 15 bakery cafes during the period.
In the year-to-date, Paris Baguette has awarded 119 franchise agreements, signed 83 leases and opened 53 new locations. The company said it has 40 cafes slated to open in the fourth quarter.
Third-quarter highlights also included an agreement for the first Paris Baguette cafe in Maine. The brand also opened its first New Mexico cafe, in Albuquerque, expanding its presence into another new market.
“Paris Baguette was built around a simple idea: the neighbourhood bakery cafe should be a place where people come together,” said CEO Darren Tipton, who has led the chain since 2020. “As we continue growing across North America, we’re seeing that idea resonate with franchisees and guests alike. We’re incredibly excited to bring the warmth, hospitality and everyday joy of Paris Baguette to even more neighbourhoods.”
Founded in South Korea, Paris Baguette first franchised in the US in 2015 and now operates over 340 locations in markets across North America. It operates more than 4,000 locations worldwide.
At Paris Baguette locations, customers can find handcrafted cakes, pastries and breads baked fresh daily, along with sandwiches, salads and made-to-order beverages.
