Paris Baguette

In a competitive investing and business landscape, standing out requires more than just a great business model. It requires a model with a clear purpose, mission, and opportunities for connection. Entrepreneurs are looking for opportunities that allow them to do more than just manage operations, and consumers are actively looking to support brands that align with their own values.&nbsp;<a href="http://ownaparisbaguette.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Paris Baguette</a>, the global bakery café franchise with over 260 cafés across North America, caters to both of these needs, weaving a focus on community into the fabric of the system.<a href="http://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette’s</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://parisbaguette.com/love-baked-in/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Love Baked In</a> program embraces this philosophy and reinforces their commitment to nourishing communities. And, while the program is one drawn up by the corporate team, the results are driven by local owners, their teams, and their guests.&nbsp;“The Love Baked In philosophy is central to our brand identity,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathy-chavenet?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cathy Chavenet</a>, chief marketing officer. “It’s a pledge that extends our commitment to our communities and the neighborhoods we serve beyond the four walls of the cafés, and it encourages us to unite around shared causes and discover what’s possible when we work as a united group.”The Love Baked In program currently emphasizes two key partnerships:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cityharvest.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">City Harvest</a>, a New York-based food rescue organization, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nokidhungry.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">No Kid Hungry</a>, through&nbsp;<a href="https://shareourstrength.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Share Our Strength</a>, benefitting children and families nationwide.Since partnering with City Harvest in 2023, Paris Baguette has donated over half a million pounds of food, including fresh pastries, sandwiches, and produce from NYC-area cafés. Their partnership with No Kid Hungry, which drove a campaign that ran from August 20th through September 30th, raised over $200,000 in round-ups and corporate and partner contributions that will be used to provide millions of meals to children who need them.This initiative demonstrates the brand’s community-first culture. The national partnership set the stage, but it was the passion of local franchise owners and their guests that really powered the campaign and amplified its impact.These partnerships are two distinct examples of how Paris Baguette shows up in the communities they enter, but the impact is even more wide-reaching, offering a differentiator among guests in the bakery café space, empowerment for franchise owners, and an attractive franchise family for owners and team members to join.“Our community-first culture sets Paris Baguette apart in a crowded market,” Chavenet said. “It provides us a ‘why’ that resonates with team members and guests on a personal level, encouraging brand loyalty and fostering an emotional connection with our guests beyond a single transaction.”The culture also sets the stage for franchise owners to give back in meaningful, authentic ways. With a corporate team that clearly demonstrates a commitment to community, franchise owners feel empowered to bring this culture into local practices and make real, timely impacts on their communities.&nbsp;For example, during the height of the Los Angeles wildfires, a local Paris Baguette owner donated pastries to firefighters and other first responders in the area.“When we speak with prospective franchise partners, we’re looking for more than just strong operators; we’re looking for community leaders,” Chavenet said. “People who want to own&nbsp;the neighborhood bakery café and be truly ingrained in their communities. Our Love Baked In culture is a key differentiating factor, and it helps us attract the right partners for healthy, community-focused growth.”The culture extends to support team hiring and retention, too. Talent is increasingly focused on spending their time with employers who align with their values, or those who provide opportunities to be a part of something bigger. A proven commitment to social impact serves as a powerful tool for attracting these types of team members, and as bakers, cakers, and baristas get to play a direct role in nourishing their communities, they become increasingly invested in the mission and success of both their local bakery café and that of the system and brand as a whole.“Our owners and team members are passionate about building loyal fan bases by first building stronger communities,” Chavenet said. “This is a foundational part of our shared success, and it is the blueprint for a resilient business model. Paris Baguette has proven time and time again that a framework of giving isn’t just good for the soul and community, it’s good for the business, too.” To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://ownaparisbaguette.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=culture-love-baked-in-community-2730972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://ownaparisbaguette.com</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette">https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette</a>.&nbsp;
