Paris Baguette Opens First Location in Tennessee

Paris Baguette, the global bakery café franchise with over 4,000 locations around the world, is making their debut in Tennessee. The first location will open sometime in 2024 in Nashville’s neighboring town of Franklin, according to a franchise agreement with owner Jim Osborn.

The opening will bring the Paris Baguette’s fresh pastries, warm breads, crafted coffees, signature cakes and grab-and-go salads and sandwiches to Franklin as their new neighborhood bakery café.

“We are thrilled to announce additional expansion within Tennessee. There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity in the bakery café space,” said Eric Lavinder, Paris Baguette’s Chief Development Officer, in a press release. “No other bakery café franchisors are doing what Paris Baguette is on the same scale. Our ability to stay true to our bakery café roots while embracing aggressive expansion has garnered attention, and that only serves to drive us forward.”

The opening comes as the franchise announced a goal of signing 160 new franchise agreements in 2023. The exact address of the new location is forthcoming.
