Paris Baguette, the global bakery café franchise with over 200 locations in the U.S. and Canada, is working to revive the neighborhood bakery café experience in communities across North America. As they grow, partnering with the right franchisees becomes increasingly important to ensure the Paris Baguette experience remains consistent and reliable for guests, regardless of which café they visit.

In order to achieve this, Paris Baguette focuses more than ever on identifying and growing with entrepreneurs who align with and embody their four core values: Have Heart, Rise to the Occasion, Nourish Community and Spread Joy.

Have Heart

At Paris Baguette, a genuine sense of warmth is infused in every aspect of the business. To maintain their positive reputation and warm, welcoming environment, franchisees must lead with compassion, showing kindness to their team members, support staff, fellow franchisees and guests.

“‘Have Heart’ is so important, and we like to think about it in terms of a few key questions: Will franchisees be compassionate in times of need? Will they be understanding of other members of the Paris Baguette family? These are very important qualities,” said Nick Scaccio, chief operating officer. 

Franchisees who prioritize empathy and foster a positive workplace culture will naturally create an inviting atmosphere that makes guests feel not just welcome but truly valued and provides a real sense of joy to team members who enter the café each day.

Nourish Community

Paris Baguette is deeply rooted in the communities they serve, and franchisees must embrace this philosophy. 

“We’re looking to reestablish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community, and a big part of that is how franchisees support their own neighbors,” Scaccio said.

With Paris Baguette, being a great neighbor is about more than providing the community with delicious baked goods and a welcoming place to gather. Paris Baguette has dedicated themselves to nourishing the community, literally, through their partnerships with organizations that give back.

“I speak to every potential owner about our donation program. We’ve partnered with Feeding America nationally and City Harvest in the New York City area to donate leftover food products at the end of every day,” Scaccio said. “I always speak with prospective owners to get their feedback on the program and learn if they’d be willing to participate, and seeing their eyes light up when they learn of the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful program is one of my favorite parts of the process.”

Recently, when incredible wildfires rocked the Los Angeles area, Paris Baguette owners were among the first to step up, supporting the community in the best way they could.

“It was really touching to see franchise owners supporting each other and even donating pallets and pallets of baked goods to the local emergency services workers in the greater LA area,” Scaccio said. “It’s so important to us that our franchisees work to Nourish Community through their businesses, but when there was such devastation at hand, we really saw on an interpersonal level how our franchisees live these values.”

Rise to the Occasion

Paris Baguette is focused on bringing a great bakery café experience to each guest they serve, and this can be a demanding feat. The fast-paced nature of the bakery café model — especially one where everything is baked fresh daily — requires an owner who can thrive under pressure and meet challenges head-on.

“We have to know that an owner will do what it takes to run a successful bakery café. That might mean working shoulder-to-shoulder with their team during a Saturday morning rush to ensure both the staff and guests have an incredible experience,” Scaccio said. “Franchisees must be able to stand up in the face of adversity. Owners who demonstrate this leadership and adaptability will be well-positioned to grow with us as we continue our ambitious expansion.”

Spread Joy

Paris Baguette is built on a foundation of joy, from the freshly made baked goods and handcrafted beverages served to the way teams interact with guests.

“We like to know how franchise owners will spread joy in their cafés,” Scaccio said. “Will they execute the brand vision of achieving high levels of guest satisfaction? Will they go above and beyond to engage their guests and team members? A franchisee who understands the power of a smile and the impact of exceptional hospitality will create an environment that both team members and guests are eager to return to.”

By embracing this philosophy wholeheartedly, franchisees can ensure that each guest leaves with a lasting positive impression.

Paris Baguette’s franchise model is designed for individuals who not only appreciate high-quality food and service but who also embody the brand’s core values. Those who lead with heart, invest in their communities, rise to challenges and spread joy will find themselves thriving within the Paris Baguette family.
