## Story

Grand opening events will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and complimentary pastry samples. The first 50 guests in line will receive a free pastry, while supplies last.

The Bellevue development is being led by franchisees Sandeep KesiReddy and Siddhartha Parepally, entrepreneurs from the Bay Area with a lifelong dream of running a business together. With a clear focus on finding the right opportunity, they identified Paris Baguette’s operational efficiency and impact, along with its untapped potential in the Seattle market. Now, with their first bakery café set to open this month, the duo is introducing Paris Baguette’s signature charm to the community in record time.

“We’re on a mission to re-establish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community, and we’re excited to see Sandeep and Siddhartha bring this to life in their local trade area,” said CEO Darren Tipton. “In our cafés, we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we know they will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighborhood.”
