Paris Baguette opening outlets in Canada

South Korean food-and-beverage company SPC Group says it will launch its bakery-cafe chain Paris Baguette into Canada next year.

The Canadian operation of Paris Baguette will be set up by the first half of the year, with stores to be launched in the country’s major cities including Toronto and Vancouver, the group said in a statement.

Paris Baguette’s goal is to establish at least 100 bakery branches in Canada by 2030.

SPC Group has so far expanded into China, the US, Vietnam, Singapore, France and Cambodia.

The company runs about 400 Paris Baguette stores globally, with stores in heavily populated areas such as Manhattan, San Francisco, Paris, Ho Chi Minh City and Boston.
