Global bakery caf\u00e9 franchise Paris Baguette has expanded its US presence with a new location in Federal Way, Washington.<\/p>\n
The store is operated by franchise owner Eric Cao.<\/p>\n
Cao said: “Opening this bakery caf\u00e9 is the fulfilment of a dream my family has shared for years.<\/p>\n
“My wife inspired me to pursue this opportunity through her love of baking, and although she and our daughters are still in Vietnam while I prepare for the opening, every step has been worth it.<\/p>\n
“We’re excited to bring something fresh to the Federal Way community and create a place where people can gather over great pastries, cakes, and coffee.”<\/p>\n
The caf\u00e9 offers Paris Baguette’s range of artisan pastries, cakes, breads and handcrafted beverages to customers in Federal Way and the wider Seattle-Tacoma area.<\/p>\n
This opening is the brand’s fifth location in Washington.<\/p>\n
Paris Baguette plans to reach 1,000 locations across the US and Canada by 2030.<\/p>\n
Paris Baguette CEO Darren Tipton said: “We’re on a mission to re-establish the neighbourhood bakery caf\u00e9 as the heart of the community across the US, and we’re excited to see Eric bring this to life in his local trade area.<\/p>\n
“In our cafes, we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we know Eric will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in his neighbourhood.”<\/p>\n
The company has more than 4,000 locations worldwide and over 300 bakery caf\u00e9s across North America, with additional sites under development.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Paris Baguette opened<\/a> a location in Plano, Texas.<\/p>\n
