The brand is experiencing rapid growth, with 76 new signings — an increase of more than 200% over Q1 of 2024 — along with 20 leases signed, up 33% from last year, and 15 new cafés opened, marking a 150% year-over-year increase.“In addition to new development, our existing system saw strong performance in the first quarter,” said CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-tipton-0526324/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=paris-baguette-franchise-q1-growth-2025-2729287" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Darren Tipton</a>. “We officially closed our 17th consecutive quarter of positive comp sales and 16th consecutive quarter of positive comp traffic, both of which serve as a testament to the loyalty of our guests and continued growth of our brand.”The sustained success is driven by&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette’s</a> commitment to quality products and their welcoming in-café atmosphere, two key contributors as the brand continues working to revive the neighborhood bakery café in communities nationwide.In Q1, Paris Baguette also made a significant investment in their North American infrastructure, breaking ground on a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Burleson, Texas. The 260,000-square-foot facility represents a $165 million investment that will enable Paris Baguette to streamline their supply chain. Having a new, stateside facility will support the brand’s long-term vision to reach 1,000 U.S. cafés and 100 Canadian cafés by 2030 while maintaining the highest standards for quality and freshness.“Operationally, Q1 has been incredibly successful for Paris Baguette,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-scaccio-83728422/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=paris-baguette-franchise-q1-growth-2025-2729287" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nick Scaccio</a>, Chief Development Officer. “The significant increase in new café openings reflects our team’s ability to execute our expansion plans efficiently. From system expansion and facility investments to ongoing innovations that benefit the guests more directly, we’re seeing wide-reaching benefits from all strategic initiatives.”Paris Baguette also continued to invest in enhancing the guest experience with innovative product limited time offerings and strategic partnerships. The highly anticipated return of handcrafted Nutella® treats, including Nutella®&nbsp; croissants, cakes, lattes and more, represented the return of a guest favorite. The strong response demonstrated the experience Paris Baguette creates through their ongoing innovation.

In a recent episode of the&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-baguette-and-the-road-to-1-000-restaurants-with/id1448762355?i=1000750526071">“QSR Uncut” podcast</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://ownaparisbaguette.com">Paris Baguette</a> Chief Development Officer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-scaccio-83728422">Nick Scaccio</a> sat down with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyklein14/">Danny Klein</a> to discuss the rapid growth the bakery café franchise has experienced across North America. When Scaccio joined the brand in 2020, there were 73 cafés in the U.S. Now, there are more than 290 cafés across the country with hundreds more in development.Scaccio attributes much of this momentum to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/parisbaguette/info">Paris Baguette’s</a> unique brand identity that prioritizes the highest quality across a range of freshly-made breads and pastries, fresh sandwiches and salads, handcrafted beverages, and both cake slices and whole cakes. With such diversity in the menu, Paris Baguette is relevant across all dayparts, from morning pastries and coffee to lunchtime grab-and-go items.Over the last few years, Paris Baguette has seen incredible growth, defying industry trends of stalled growth. Scaccio pointed to a people-first philosophy as the primary driver of this growth, emphasizing the importance of a strong partnership between the corporate team and local operators.“How genuine someone is about loving the brand is critical,” Scaccio said on the podcast. “So we talk openly about the menu, what they've tried, which franchise owners they've contacted, and how the conversations went. We meet in person, when and where possible … And then, if there are other businesses, we'll tour and spend time and even meet some members of their team. I think all of that is critical before entering an extremely long-term relationship. We take that very seriously, and we appreciate that our franchise owners do, too.”Looking ahead, Paris Baguette is showing no signs of slowing down. With a goal of reaching 1,000 U.S. units by 2030, Scaccio says he expects to have that number fully accounted for between open cafés and awarded development deals by the end of the quarter. As the franchise continues to reestablish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of communities across the country, they’re proving a focus on hospitality and execution remains key to success in competitive markets.Listen to the full podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/paris-baguette-and-the-road-to-1-000-restaurants-with/id1448762355?i=1000750526071">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;
