## Story

Paris Baguette, the international Korean brand with more than 4,000 locations around the world, is consolidating its American presence with two new locations to open in an entirely new market for the brand.

The new bakeries will open in Portland, Oregon, in partnership with a group of experienced Portland restauranteurs.

“We are looking forward to leveraging our West Coast presence with our expansion into Oregon,” says Gregg Koffler, vice president of franchise sales and development. “We know Portland will be a great opportunity for Paris Baguette based on the customer support we already have throughout the rest of the region.

“We are confident our vibrant atmosphere will resonate well with the Portland community, along with our wide variety of menu options, such as our chef-driven sandwiches and salads and our assortment of delicious pastries and cakes.”

This expansion into Portland continues Paris Baguette’s growth plans within the U.S. market, where the global brand has more than 82 corporate and franchise-owned bakery-cafes.

“Being from Korea, my partners and I absolutely love the products and offerings from Paris Baguette and we are looking forward to offering the diverse menu variety to the Portland community,” says new franchisee, Jay Chun.
