Paris Baguette opened its 300th U.S. cafe, which also serves as the brand's first-ever U.S. airport cafe – now open in Terminal C at the Philadelphia International Airport.
The landmark addition speaks to Paris Baguette’s strategy to bring the neighborhood bakery cafe experience to high-traffic, nontraditional venues. The company plans to get to 1,000 U.S. locations by 2030.
This year, the brand has opened 77 new cafes and awarded another 300 agreements for future development. Currently, Paris Baguette has over 600 locations in various stages of development.
“The opening of our 300th U.S. cafe at the Philadelphia International Airport is a testament to the incredible scalability and appeal of the Paris Baguette brand,” says CEO Darren Tipton. “Expanding our footprint is exciting, but this is also a strategic milestone. By entering the airport space, we’re proving that the high-quality, artisan bakery experience can thrive in diverse environments, opening the door to serve a high volume of global travelers and entering a new phase of growth that includes expansion in nontraditional hubs.”
The Philadelphia International Airport cafe will be operated by Onsite Retailers, the airport concessions company owned by Terri and Sandy Roberts. The couple brings extensive experience to the opening, with a portfolio that includes more than 90 units across over 10 airports in multiple categories.
