Paris Baguette and franchise owners Devanshu and Ameeshi Patel announced the opening of the newest bakery café at 60 Centennial Drive in Long Branch, New Jersey.
Devanshu and Ameeshi Patel have long shared an interest in hospitality, quality food and creating welcoming experiences for the people around them. With experience in business operations and management, the couple began looking for an opportunity that would allow them to become business owners with the support of an established brand. Paris Baguette’s bakery café model aligned with their goal of creating a place where the community could gather over high-quality food and warm service, the two said.
“Opening Paris Baguette in Long Branch is something we’ve been working toward for a long time,” Devanshu said. “We want this café to feel welcoming from the moment people walk in, whether they’re stopping by for coffee, picking up something for their family, or meeting a neighbor. We’re grateful to be part of this community and excited to build those relationships.”
The Long Branch café opening is a milestone for the brand, and the 32nd in the state of New Jersey. Paris Baguette plans to reach 1,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada by 2030.
“We’re on a mission to re-establish the neighborhood bakery café as the heart of the community across the U.S., and we’re excited to see Devanshu and Ameeshi bring this to life in their local trade area,” said Darren Tipton, CEO of Paris Baguette. “In our cafes, we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we know the Patels will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighborhood.”
With more than 4,000 locations worldwide and 300-plus bakery cafés operating across North America, the brand continues to expand its footprint, with multiple locations in development.
