The international bakery and café chain Paris Baguette opened its 27th location in Texas, at 5500 State Highway 121, Suite 100, in Plano.
The new location joins 15 others in North Texas and offers the brand’s classic menu, which includes artisanal bread, pastries, desserts, French-inspired baked goods and freshly brewed coffee drinks.
The franchisees are CJ Singh and Punya Kushalappa, who, in addition to holding executive positions at technology companies, are involved in restaurant ventures in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Singh is a senior vice president at a global technology company and co-owner of a Dallas-Fort Worth restaurant group, while Kushalappa serves as global head of human resources for an IT company and helps lead the two men’s restaurant ventures.
“Some partnerships are built in conference rooms. Ours was built over coffee,” said Singh and Kushalappa in a statement. “Our shared passion for coffee and hospitality inspired us to create a place where people can slow down, connect, and enjoy exceptional food and beverages together.”
The company, which has more than 4,000 locations worldwide and 300 operating in North America, plans to have more than 1,000 locations in the United States and Canada by 2030.
