What is Paris Baguette?

Founded in 1988 in South Korea, Paris Baguette prides itself on its “delicious pastries, warm breads, stunning cakes and expertly brewed drinks,” the company said on its website.

The French-inspired bakery chain opened its first U.S. bake shop in Los Angeles in 2005, according to its site.

As of late 2024, the chain had more than 4,000 retail stores throughout the world, including more than 180 in the United States.

In February, the company, which is owned by SPC Group in Seoul, announced that it would build a 260,000-square-foot bakery manufacturing plant in Texas and open 100 new cafés — expanding its footprint to more than 35 states.

The company seeks to have about 1,000 Paris Baguette locations across the nation by 2030, and 12,000 globally.

“The momentum we’ve built over the past year is just the beginning,” Darren Tipton, CEO of Paris Baguette, said in a Feb. 12 news release. “We remain committed to our people-first approach, investing in top-tier leadership, operational excellence and the quality that makes us North America’s neighborhood bakery café.”

Where is new bakery in Sacramento area?

Paris Baguette is looking to fill a 2,500 square-foot space at 3654 North Freeway Blvd., Suite 330, in Natomas, the Sacramento Business Journal previously reported.

That’s part of the Village at Sacramento Gateway, a large retail center that includes Target, TJ Maxx, Old Navy and Nordstrom Rack stores.
