Paris Baguette operates more than 4,000 locations worldwide.

After a strong 2024, Paris Baguette is looking to continue its expansion.

The bakery cafe chain, which operates more than 200 locations in the United States and Canada, says it awarded 163 franchises last year and opened 51 new cafes. Paris Baguette entered five new states, including the launch of its first Hawaii location.

CEO Darren Tipton says there is “a true pathway” to 100 or more Paris Baguette locations opening across North America in 2025 as the team prepares to expand the brand’s presence to over 35 states. Nearly 80 leases have been signed going into 2025. Paris Baguette’s goal is to reach 1,000 units in North America by 2030.

In 2025, Paris Baguette says new target markets include Connecticut, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Indiana, Idaho, Delaware, Guam and Puerto Rico.

“The growth we saw last year was truly remarkable, and I firmly believe that our success is driven by our people-first approach,” said Tipton. “By strengthening our C-level leadership team and focusing on comprehensive support systems, we’ve created a solid foundation for sustainable growth while maintaining the high-quality guest experience that defines Paris Baguette.”

Known for its coffees, baked goods, sandwiches and more, Paris Baguette says it has achieved 16 consecutive quarters of positive comparable sales growth, approaching half a billion dollars in sales last year.

“As we continue our growth trajectory, we remain steadfast in our commitment to being the true neighborhood bakery café,” Tipton said. “With freshly baked pastries and breads, artisan cakes and made to order beverages, we’re proud to fill a vital role in communities across the U.S. and Canada, bringing the authentic bakery experience to life for our guests every day.”
