## Story

Paris Baguette has promoted Brian Egan to vice president of development. Formerly director of new store construction, Egan brings a rich background of bakery café industry experience and deep knowledge of Paris Baguette’s development process. Now, Egan will lead a team of experts who provide support for new Paris Baguette franchise owners from day one through the opening of their new cafés.

“The high-level view of what my team and I do is to take a franchisee from when they sign the franchise agreement to when they open their café,” Egan said. “In this role, I’m responsible for everything that happens in between those two points. We make sure that construction gets done in a timely and successful fashion, and we make sure the franchisee is set up for success in terms of operations - anything from hiring and training to setting up the café and making sure franchisees have access to the marketing materials they’ll need.”

Egan’s promotion is one of multiple steps CEO Darren Tipton has taken to ensure the proper infrastructure is in place as Paris Baguette prepares for growth.

As Egan steps into his new role and looks toward his future with the brand, he shares excitement about contributing to the larger Paris Baguette mission and vision.

“Paris Baguette is something really special; no one is doing what we’re doing, and certainly not at the level we’re doing it at,” he said. “For me, what stands out about this promotion is the excitement. I’m grateful to be a part of such a smart, competent, connected leadership team.”
