Global bakery café franchise Paris Baguette reports another groundbreaking year with 163 new franchises awarded across North America, including 14 in Canada. The French-inspired bakery café brand, which is working to revive the neighborhood bakery café experience, has seen impressive interest and strong growth in Canada in recent years. This surge in development underscores the brand's commitment to reaching 100 locations in Canada by 2030, bringing their signature fresh-baked goods and warm café experience to more Canadian communities.

"The response we've received from the Canadian market has been phenomenal," said Darren Tipton, CEO of Paris Baguette. "Our success in Canada reflects the strong appeal of our authentic bakery café concept and the growing demand for high-quality, freshly baked goods in neighborhoods across the country."

After opening 7 new Canadian cafés in 2024, Paris Baguette’s Canadian momentum is set to accelerate further in 2025 with a plan to open 10 new cafés throughout the year. This expansion builds upon their existing Canadian presence and demonstrates their commitment to strategic growth in key markets across the country.

"As we look toward 2025, we're targeting 20 new franchise signings in Canada," Tipton said. "This goal aligns with our long-term vision of establishing Paris Baguette as Canada's premier neighborhood bakery café destination."

Paris Baguette's Canadian expansion is supported by the same commitment to quality and guest experience that has driven their success across the US. Each café serves as a neighborhood gathering place, offering freshly baked pastries, artisan breads and expertly crafted cakes, alongside a full menu of café beverages and light bites.

The brand's growth in Canada comes at a time of unprecedented expansion for Paris Baguette across North America, where they have achieved 16 consecutive quarters of positive comparable sales growth. This consistent performance underscores the strong market demand for their unique bakery café concept.

Paris Baguette's exceptional growth was further recognized with their outstanding placement on Entrepreneur's 46th Annual 2025 Franchise 500 list. Holding the No. 1 spot in the Bakery Franchise Category, Paris Baguette climbed an impressive 19 places overall, ranking at No. 42. This prestigious recognition underscores the brand's unwavering commitment to excellence and its dedication to delivering an exceptional bakery café experience to communities across Canada & the U.S.

"We're not just opening cafés — we're creating community destinations where people can experience the joy of fresh-baked goods and warm hospitality every day," Tipton said. "Our Canadian franchisees share our passion for delivering exceptional quality and service, and we're excited to continue growing with partners who embrace our vision."
