Cincinnati Enquirer: Ohio’s First Paris Baguette Set To Open in Cincinnati

In a recent article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Paris Baguette, the global bakery cafe franchise with 90 locations in the U.S., has signed on Ai Lin as the brand’s first Ohio franchisee. Lin, who is a local restauranteur, plans to open the state’s first Paris Baguette by the end of the year — and even has plans to expand further in the near future.

The French-inspired bakery and cafe chain additionally plans to open 1,000 new U.S. stores by 2030. Currently, most Paris Baguette locations are concentrated to the East and West Coasts, with the closest cafe to Cincinnati located in Chicago.
