Retail Insider: Paris Baguette Heading to Canada

According to a recent article in Retail Insider , Paris Baguette , the bakery café brand with more than 4,000 units worldwide, is expanding into Canada, with plans to open its very first location on Toronto’s Bloor Street Luxury Run. This will be the brand’s first Canadian location and is part of a larger expansion plan in Vancouver and Montreal as well.

Formerly occupied by Browns Shoes at 110 Bloor Street West, the 2,500-square-foot street-level retail space will be surrounded by luxury brands such as Prada and Gucci.

“We look forward to building our footprint in Canada through franchising,” said a Paris Baguette Canada representative. “Consumers are continuing to choose quick-service restaurants and, as such, we see a great deal of opportunity for business owners looking for a tried and true business model that offers gourmet menu selections for dine-in, delivery or takeout.”
