<a href="https://ownaparisbaguette.com/">Paris Baguette</a> is entering the nontraditional franchise space with a bakery café scheduled to open in Q2 at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). The airport debut marks the brand’s first location of this kind and comes as&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette</a> grows to more than 10 neighborhood bakery cafés in the Greater Philadelphia area,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2026/04/07/paris-baguette-opening-300th-shop-phl.html">according to the Philadelphia Business Journal</a>.As the brand’s 300th location across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the airport bakery café represents a significant milestone on Paris Baguette’s flight to having 1,000 bakery cafés open in North America by 2030.The new location will debut in Terminal C and is part of the airport’s initiative to bring in local brands for “Founded in Philly,” providing a taste of the city to travelers.This launch into the airport channel provides new opportunities for potential franchisees. With a constant flow of travelers moving through the airport each day, combined with long wait times and the convenience factor, the location offers strong potential for long-term growth. Paris Baguette offers a new taste of quality and freshness to travelers as just one of nine food and beverage options within Terminal C.Opening in venues like airports offers new franchisees a great chance to own their own business with the potential for lower barriers to entry. These&nbsp;<a href="https://www.franchising.com/guides/nontraditional_locations.html">opportunities can include</a> reduced franchise fees, lower startup costs, less expensive real estate, smaller staffing requirements, and the ability to operate with less day-to-day involvement. It gives entrepreneurs another path to business ownership in a nontraditional setting.The new bakery café follows a period of turnover at the airport, where Starbucks and Balducci’s Market closed their Terminal C locations, along with a Chick-fil-A in the food court between Terminals B and C.The PHL opening gives Paris Baguette a way to gauge demand in a high-traffic venue and bring its bakery café experience to airport travelers. The brand is also growing across Greater Philadelphia, with 18 additional markets in the region under development.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2026/04/07/paris-baguette-opening-300th-shop-phl.html">here</a>.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://ownaparisbaguette.com">https://ownaparisbaguette.com</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette">https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette</a>.

<a href="http://ownaparisbaguette.com">Paris Baguette</a>, the bakery café franchise brand with more than 4,000 units, is continuing their growth in Georgia with a new Atlanta-area café projected to open this July. Located at 4119 Lake Street in Alpharetta, the café will serve a wide variety of freshly baked breads and pastries, handcrafted beverages, and expertly made and decorated cakes. The Alpharetta café will be the second for franchisee Layne Alkaasamani, a pastry chef turned business owner who was drawn to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette</a> because of their culture.“What made it stand out for me was the culture. I really like the corner bakery feeling,” Alkaasamani told&nbsp;<a href="https://whatnow.com/atlanta/restaurants/paris-baguette-bringing-new-location-to-alpharetta-this-summer/">WhatNowAtlanta</a>. “It’s such a well-made franchise. We still have baked goods every morning. Even though it’s a franchise, it doesn’t have a franchise feel. We always try to give you that feeling of just a small corner bakery in your community.”As she continues to grow with the brand and bring the neighborhood bakery café experience to her community, Alkaasamani hopes to open two to three additional Georgia cafés.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://whatnow.com/atlanta/restaurants/paris-baguette-bringing-new-location-to-alpharetta-this-summer/">here</a>.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://ownaparisbaguette.com">https://ownaparisbaguette.com</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette.">https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette.</a>&nbsp;

PHILADELPHIA&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="http://ownaparisbaguette.com">Paris Baguette</a> is celebrating a dual milestone in their North American expansion journey with the opening of their 300th U.S. café, which also serves as their first-ever U.S. airport café. Now open in Terminal C at the Philadelphia International Airport, the landmark café represents a defining moment in&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette</a>’s strategy to bring the neighborhood bakery café experience to high-traffic, nontraditional venues.&nbsp;The 300th U.S. café opening follows a year of incredible growth in which the brand opened 77 new cafés and awarded another 300 agreements for future development. Currently, Paris Baguette has over 600 total cafés in various stages of development, and momentum is only building, keeping them firmly on track to reach 1,000 U.S. cafés by 2030.“The opening of our 300th U.S. café at the Philadelphia International Airport is a testament to the incredible scalability and appeal of the Paris Baguette brand,” said CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-tipton-0526324/">Darren Tipton</a>. “Expanding our footprint is exciting, but this is also a strategic milestone. By entering the airport space, we’re proving that the high-quality, artisan bakery experience can thrive in diverse environments, opening the door to serve a high volume of global travelers and entering a new phase of growth that includes expansion in nontraditional hubs.”The Philadelphia International Airport café will be operated by&nbsp;<a href="https://onsiteretailers.com/">Onsite Retailers</a>, the airport concessions company owned by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/terri-roberts-0b8931179/">Terri</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandy-roberts-87a35730/">Sandy Roberts</a>. The couple brings extensive experience to the opening, with a portfolio that includes more than 90 units across over 10 airports in multiple categories.“We’re honored to be a part of this milestone with Paris Baguette, and we know it will be a valuable addition to the Philadelphia International Airport ecosystem. We’ve seen an explosion in culture surrounding bakeries,” Terri said. “Americans are moving away from packaged sweets and looking for real, artisan creations like the ones Paris Baguette is known for. Our goal has always been to bring the high-quality café experience into the airport, and Paris Baguette is the perfect fit for that vision.”According to Sandy, the brand’s existing recognition is another reason the concept makes sense for an airport setting.“We are very excited about the brand and believe their strong reputation will be appealing to the traveling public,” he said. “This is a brand guests already know and have experience with, and we are looking forward to bringing Paris Baguette to the Philadelphia International Airport.”As Paris Baguette continues their incredible national growth, the Philadelphia International Airport location will serve as a foundation for future travel hub developments, supporting an important shift beyond the traditional retail model and positioning Paris Baguette more firmly as a beloved global brand bringing warmth and joy in an entirely new context.ABOUT PARIS BAGUETTEParis Baguette is a bakery café franchise with more than 4,000 units across the globe.
