Why is the Paris Baguette franchise a good investment?
Paris Baguette is on a mission to re-establish the neighbourhood bakery café as the heart of the community across the UK.

How in demand are the services that Paris Baguette provides?
There was once a time when there were bakeries across the UK. Most of these disappeared in the sixties and seventies, overwhelmed by the might of a few big chains. Fortunately, in the last 30 years, great bread bakers have exploded onto the streets and into the markets. However, what Britain lacks is premium cakes, exquisite pastries, innovative sandwiches, and high-quality coffee in baker’s shops. The demand for these items is high and unfulfilled. Paris Baguette is here to fill that need.
