According to Vancouver is Awesome, Paris Baguette has unveiled its plans to open its first downtown Vancouver location at 1150 Alberni St. Although signs and window coverings have gone up at the new location, the exact date of the opening has not yet been determined. The new storefront marks the latest addition for the brand, which currently boasts more than 4,000 units across the globe.
