Paris Baguette opens 30th Texas café in Missouri City

Paris Baguette will open its 30th Texas cafe on Oct. 31 at 6266 Highway 6 in Missouri City, Texas. The location, in the Kroger-anchored Colony Lakes Shopping Center, will create 45 jobs.

Osman Ulhaq will own and operate the café with Krystle Ulhaq, who serves as vice president of talent and experience. The restaurant will serve pastries, breads, cakes, coffee and other items.

Osman Ulhaq brings experience in hospitality, automotive, financial services and restaurant leadership to the venture. He began his career with InterContinental Hotels before holding leadership roles with Honda, Lexus and Yum! Brands. He later served as an executive vice president and chief strategy and growth officer for three credit union organizations in Arizona before returning to the Houston area.

Paris Baguette operates more than 350 cafés across North America and has more than 4,000 locations worldwide. The South Korean-headquartered bakery café chain plans to reach 1,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada by 2030 through franchise expansion.

Technology. Talent. Marketing. Operations. Growth. The Restaurant Franchising & Innovation Summit brings all the pieces together March 8-10 in New Orleans, with restaurant leaders sharing what’s working — and what’s next.
