Kim said: “Opening the first Paris Baguette in Idaho is an incredible honor, and I’m excited to introduce this brand to the Meridian community.
“My military experience taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork and serving others, and those values have carried with me into entrepreneurship.
“I’m looking forward to building a team, welcoming our neighbors and creating a place where people can come together over great food, coffee and hospitality. We’re thrilled to finally open our doors and become part of the Meridian community.”
The Meridian site is Paris Baguette’s first in the state and extends its footprint into the Boise-area market.
Paris Baguette has more than 4,000 locations globally, including over 300 bakery cafés across North America.
The company aims to operate 1,000 locations across the US and Canada by 2030.
Paris Baguette CEO Darren Tipton said: “We’re on a mission to re-establish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community across the US, and we’re excited to see Jay bring this to life in his local trade area.
“In our cafes we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we know Jay will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in his neighbourhood.”
In August, Paris Baguette opened a new location in Georgetown, Texas.
