Paris Baguette has opened a new bakery café in Long Branch, marking another step in the brand’s expansion across North America. The opening marks Paris Baguette’s 32nd location in New Jersey.
Paris Baguette North America expansion adds Long Branch Cafe
Paris Baguette operates more than 4,000 bakery outlets globally and is expanding its presence in major markets. The Long Branch location is run by husband-wife franchisees Devanshu and Ameeshi Patel.
It is located at 60 Centennial Drive near Pier Village, one of Long Branch’s primary shopping and dining destinations. The brand has grown to over 300 cafés in North America.
According to PRNewswire, the couple was inspired by the business model and community-driven approach of Paris Baguette. Opening a café had been a longtime goal for the couple. They hope to establish a place where locals can enjoy a cup of coffee, grab baked goods, or just get to know their neighbors.
Devanshu said, “We want this café to feel welcoming from the moment people walk in, whether they’re stopping by for coffee, picking up something for their family, or meeting a neighbor. We’re grateful to be part of this community and excited to build those relationships.”
The Long Branch café is part of Paris Baguette’s mission to reintroduce the neighborhood bakery café experience to the community, said CEO Darren Tipton. “In our cafes, we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we know the Patels will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighborhood.”
The company is working toward a goal of reaching 1,000 locations across the United States and Canada by 2030 through partnerships with local entrepreneurs.
