Paris Baguette targets Toronto for development

June 15, 2020, New York – Paris Baguette is hoping to expand its presence in Toronto, Ont., and is looking to meet with franchise partners.

The bakery-café franchise is a global brand that operates more than 82 corporate and franchise bakery-cafés throughout the U.S., and over 3,500 internationally.

With global demand and expected steady growth for the bakery market in Canada, Paris Baguette is seeking development opportunities in Canada’s most populous city.

“At our core, Paris Baguette is a bakery that is French-inspired and innovates through global influences,” says Gregg Koffler, vice president of franchise sales and development. “Our rich history of more than 70 years in the baking business coupled with our global identity are sure to resonate with the diverse population of Toronto.

“Fast casual restaurants continue to outpace industry growth and we see a great deal of opportunity for business owners in this urban market.”

Paris Baguette, which is known for its assortment of cakes, pastries and breads is seeking multi-unit owners and area developers who are passionate about their business and communities.

“We offer versatile store footprints and our concept succeeds in a variety of environments, from urban centres to suburban shopping centers,” says Koffler. “Though the restaurant industry is facing unique challenges at this time, we’re seeing positive steps being taken to support our industry and business owners. Based on this outlook, we are bullish about the long-term prospects of owning a Paris Baguette franchise and are eager to meet with the best-in-class operators in this city.”

In targeting Toronto, Paris Baguette plans to strengthen its presence as a global franchise concept.
