TORONTO — Paris Baguette, the bakery café concept with more than 4,000 units worldwide, saw remarkable growth in 2023 with close to 30 locations opened in the U.S. and Canada. Its most recent location is now open at 47 Harry Walker Parkway South in Newmarket, Ont.
The Newmarket, Ont.-café is the third in Canada and the first corporate location in the country. The company plans to add to this expansion by opening additional cafés this year, including another corporate café, as well as several more locations in 2024.
“We’re thrilled to announce our newest Canadian café opening and welcome in guests to enjoy a variety of freshly baked pastries, breads, and cakes as well as artisan coffees, sandwiches, and salads. There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity in the bakery-café space,” says Darren Tipton, CEO, Paris Baguette. “No one else is doing what we are on the same scale, and that’s attracting a lot of attention. It’s a really exciting time for us as we continue to see growth through franchise expansion and year-over-year revenue numbers.”
Within the $17-billion bakery segment, Paris Baguette differentiates itself by offering breads, cakes and pastries made fresh daily, unlike many other concepts that primarily offer soups, salads and other pre-made goods. For franchisees looking to break into the industry, the company provides brand recognition, guest offerings and franchisee support, while maintaining its commitment to following a true bakery-café model.
