Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café is headed to the Volunteer State.

The Houston-based chain known for sweet and savory crêpes will open its first location in Tennessee this summer in Nashville. The new Sweet Paris shop will be located in Nashville Yards on the first level of The Pinnacle, Nashville's newest live music venue that will seat approximately 4,500 people. The venue is set to open in March.

Behind the Nashville location is the hospitality division of the Virentes Partners Group, a multi-family business with over a century of combined experience, specializing in investments in branded concepts. Last year, the group signed a landmark agreement with Sweet Paris to develop 15 locations across Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee. The Nashville location will mark the first opening from this partnership.

"We're beyond excited to bring Sweet Paris to Nashville, especially at such a vibrant and dynamic destination like Nashville Yards," said Jim D'Aquila, the managing member of Virentes Partners Group. "We seek out concepts that offer more than just great food — they create an experience, and Sweet Paris delivers that in every way. We can't wait for the Nashville community to experience the inviting atmosphere, exceptional flavors, and unique charm that Sweet Paris is known for. This is just the beginning of our journey to bring this incredible brand to more cities across the country."
