TL;DR
Paris Baguette Café is set to open a new bakery café in Ashburn, Virginia on April 24th. The opening is the brand's sixth café in Virginia and is owned by franchisees Joe and Yulia Kook.
Paris Baguette continues growth with its most recent bakery café opening at 23710 Schooler Plaza, Ashburn VA 20148 on April 24th.
Joe and Yulia Kook have varied backgrounds and experiences with Paris Baguette. However, when the two found themselves thinking of career shifts at the same time, franchising with the brand quickly rose to the top of the list of possibilities.
“We’re really excited for the local [Brambleton] community to get to experience Paris Baguette. We really want to cater to them. Our primary goal is to really reach out to the local people. From there, we look forward to opening a second bakery café in Gainesville,” said Joe.
The Brambleton café opening is a milestone for the brand, as it will be the sixth café to open in Virginia.
“There are people stopping by the location daily asking when we’re opening,” said Yulia. “We are the first retail concept in the plaza and the first bakery café of our kind in the county, so we’re very excited.”
“We’re excited to see Joe and Yulia take this on in their own community,” said Eric Lavinder, Chief Development Officer. “One of the sayings our teams throughout the system embody is, ‘Happy to see you. Even happier to serve you.’ And we know Joe and Yulia will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighborhood.”
