Paris Baguette does two things better than any other bakery/cafe franchise: a comfortable, inviting customer experience and the highest-quality baked goods and coffees.

The brand has decades of experience, a globally beloved brand name with its 4,000 cafés, a proven record of nearly a decade in North America, best-in-class operations, support and infrastructure. 

Paris Baguette opened 43 new cafés opened across the U.S. and Canada, awarded 100 new franchises awarded and had 50 leases signed for cafés in development.

The brand offers investors an easy-to-manage, streamlined business model with a proven track record in the U.S. and Canada. For investors who want to manage a booming business in an in-demand space that’s proven pandemic-resistant, Paris Baguette offers not only a profitable model, but also a chance to spread joy within the community.

For entrepreneurs with a love of handmade baking artistry, Paris Baguette offers an opportunity like no other.

Paris Baguette deeply researched the $17 billion bakery cafe category and found significant gaps in the market that it can fill with top-notch quality goods. Where do most Canadians get their cakes from? The grocery store. Most “bakeries” across the country now mainly focus on selling soups, salads and sandwiches. Many Canadians simply don’t know where they’d go to find a simple yet delicious croissant made with an old world technique by a local baker.

Paris Baguette positioned itself to disrupt that stagnant, uninspiring model. 

“Our research went deep into the community, ensuring that our brand positioning was designed to fill important gaps,” said Eric Lavinder, chief development officer with the brand. “People crave food brands that ignite all senses and ultimately bring them great joy. In order to get to 1,000 locations, we have to give the guest something they are not used to in their communities. We are confident we can fill that gap with our elevated neighborhood cafe concept.”

As Paris Baguette begins to take off in Canada, franchisees can look to their American counterparts for inspiration. Currently, the brand has over 150 stores across the United States and Canada, and plans to open 1,000 by the end of the decade.

“The potential with Paris Baguette is endless,” said Helen Kim, a franchisee based in Las Vegas.

Ai Lin, another Las Vegas franchisee, said “Paris Baguette is truly focused on how to expand into different markets across the country. And I want to be part of that growth.”
