Oh là là! Paris Baguette to open its first Fort Worth bakery location on Monday
Paris Baguette, a fast-growing chain of French-inspired bakeries and cafes, will open its first Fort Worth location on Monday, May 19.
The bakery’s menu includes sweet and savory pastries, breads, donuts (including mochi and croissant varieties), breakfast sandwiches, salads and wraps, as well as an assortment of hot and cold coffee drinks.
It’s especially popular for its wide selection of cakes — the menu includes such delights as a chocolate hazelnut cake with Nutella, a chocolate mousse salted caramel layer cake, a blueberry chiffon cake and a strawberry soft cream cake.
The company’s stated mission is to “reestablish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community around the world.” On Sunday, employees were seen inside the bakery training for that lofty goal.
Paris Baguette already has more than 200 locations in North America, including franchise North Texas locations in Grand Prairie, Coppell, Lewisville, Carrollton, Frisco and Allen.
The new Paris Baguette location is in far north Fort Worth at 2700 N. Tarrant Parkway, just west of Interstate 35W, in a recently built strip center near the popular Chicago hot dog joint Portillo’s. The bakery’s hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
The chain is owned by Korea-based SPC Group, which first entered the U.S. market in 2005. The company is building its first North American food manufacturing plant in Burleson, creating 450 jobs. The 267,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed by late 2027 in the Highpoint Business Park in south Burleson off Interstate 35W.
SPC Group pledged an initial investment of $165 million, with Burleson and Johnson County contributing approximately $10 million.
SPC Group plans on reaching 1,000 franchises in North America in the next five years. The Burleson plant will also serve as a jumping-off point for Latin American expansion.
In addition to manufacturing products for Paris Baguette cafes, the facility will distribute products for bread maker Samlip, a SPC Group subsidiary.
