Paris Baguette, the bakery café franchise with more than 4,000 units across the globe, has announced the upcoming opening of a new location in Beaverton, Oregon. The new location, which will be run by franchisee Jay Chun, is the franchise's first location for Oregon and the Portland DMA region.

The new unit is the first of up to five more locations the franchise has planned for the Portland market.

“I’m excited to bring Paris Baguette to Beaverton and the Portland area,” said Chun. “Customers are going to love not only the menu of wonderful cakes and pastries that Paris Baguette has to offer but also the joy that each visit will bring them as well.” 

Paris Baguette prides itself on creating a dining experience that brings joy to the lives of others, and with the research the brand has done over the last year as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, it believes it is well-positioned to grow in new markets — including the Portland/Beaverton region. 

“Paris Baguette brand is eager to grow in Oregon, and we believe the Portland/Beaverton market is filled with potential,” said Mark Mele, Chief Development Officer for Paris Baguette. “It’s been a building year for the restaurant industry, and I think this brand has been ahead of the curve in terms of creating the kinds of spaces that work for customers and franchisees.”

Paris Baguette's current development goal is to open 1,000 U.S. locations in the next 10 years, which Mele said will be done by providing exceptional guest experiences.

“Paris Baguette is committed to bringing communities a menu that will ignite all of their senses and fill a gap in the neighborhood bakery café concept,” Mele added.

Paris Baguette is well-positioned to see growth in the Portland DMA region, as Forbes ranks the city among the top five places for business due to its large share of educated millennials and strong growth prospects.

Paris Baguette Beaverton will be located at 2725 SW Cedar Hills Boulevard, Suite 105, Beaverton, Oregon.

The total investment to franchise with Paris Baguette ranges from $528,270 and $1,638,554, including a $50,000 franchise fee. For more information, please visit: https://parisbaguette.com/franchising/
