Bakery café concept Paris Baguette has announced a milestone with the opening of its 250th café in North America at 520 Snowshill Street in Frederick, Maryland.
The new venue is managed by Waseem Mohamad, who previously worked as a general contractor for the franchise, with his partners Prant and Prince Kumar.
The opening is seen as a precursor to further expansion in the area, with the management team aiming to utilise their experience alongside the support of Paris Baguette to enhance the brand's presence and contribute to local employment.
Mohamad stated: "I've spent the past three years helping to build nearly 20 Paris Baguette locations, and I've had the privilege of seeing the 150th and 200th cafés open.
“It's incredibly exciting that the 250th location is now one we can call our own. I partnered with Prant and Prince so we could open and operate a café together.
“At the heart of it, it's all about the product — we love it. Our families have been longtime guests, and now we get to share that same experience with our community.”
The franchise has awarded 170 agreements and launched 46 cafés in 2025.
There are 450 further cafés in the pipeline, with plans for 50 more by the end of 2025. This growth would double the brand's footprint in North America within a two-year period.
Paris Baguette continues to expand its operations across the US and Canada, aiming for 1,000 locations in North America by 2030.
Paris Baguette CEO Darren Tipton stated: “This milestone reflects the shared passion and dedication of our entire Paris Baguette family, from our franchise owners and café teams to our loyal guests.”
Paris Baguette opened a new restaurant venue in East Plano, Texas.
