It will mark a significant milestone in the brand’s US expansion as it approaches the 1,000-unit mark.

The new store in the Seattle suburb will be led by residents and franchisees, Yoon Chang and Joshua Chang.

Yoon said: “Every time I go to a Paris Baguette, I always end up buying so many baked goods, and still my family and I eat it all. Also, Paris Baguette is such a dominant company because of the quality and I think it will do really well here.

“Paris Baguette makes fresh baked goods every day. There aren’t many good bakeries around anymore in the area so I’m excited for this great addition to the community.”

The opening of the Lynnwood café is part of Paris Baguette’s strategic growth, which includes a goal to inaugurate 100 bakery cafés and award another 150 franchises by the summer of 2025.

The company is seeking partnerships with local entrepreneurs to further its presence, particularly in states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky.

Paris Baguette chief development officer Eric Lavinder said: “We’re on a mission to revive the concept of the neighborhood bakery café across the US, and we’re excited to see Yoon and Joshua take this on in their own community.

“One of the sayings our teams throughout the system embody is ‘Happy to see you. Even happier to serve you.’ And we know Yoon and Joshua will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighbourhood.”
