As of this day, Paris Baguette has stores in 74 locations in the eastern United States, 66 locations in the West, and one in Canada. Paris Baguette will open two more stores this month after opening its first store in Canada in March. Southpark on Whyte, the second franchise store, will open in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, Canada, on the 14th, followed by Canada's first direct store, Newmarket East, on the 22nd.

Paris Baguette is scheduled to open its first store in North Carolina on the 22nd and enter 20 states. In addition, the company plans to open its 150th store in North America by opening seven franchise stores in six states, including New York, California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, by the end of September. It plans to open a total of 60 locations in North America this year alone, including Washington, Hawaii and Tennessee by the end of the year.
