Paris Baguette Expands in Connecticut

Paris Baguette, the renowned bakery café chain, has made a significant addition to its growing portfolio with the opening of a new location in Fairfield, Connecticut. The franchise, operated by Bimalkumar Thakkar, opened its doors on November 6, 2026, at 1982 Black Rock Turnpike.

This new establishment brings the French-inspired cafe experience to the local community, presenting a wide array of artisan pastries, cakes, breads, and handcrafted beverages. Located in a close-knit coastal community, this café aims to become a beloved spot where residents can gather with friends and family.

Paris Baguette has already established itself with over 4,000 locations worldwide, including more than 300 across North America. With plans for further expansion, the brand is dedicated to strengthening its presence in key markets throughout the US.

Franchise owner Bimalkumar Thakkar, a graduate of Newport University, expressed enthusiasm about introducing the Paris Baguette concept to Fairfield. He stated, “We are thrilled to open our doors and bring Paris Baguette to Fairfield as part of such a vibrant community. Our goal is to offer a warm space for families and friends to enjoy delicious baked goods and celebrate special moments together.”

The launch of the Fairfield café marks the third Paris Baguette location in Connecticut, emphasizing the brand's ambitious goal of reaching 1,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada by 2030. This growth is facilitated through collaborations with local entrepreneurs who are committed to bringing the charm of a neighborhood bakery café to their communities.

Darren Tipton, the Chief Executive Officer of Paris Baguette, expressed his excitement about the new café, saying, “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 Bimalkumar Thakkar bring this to life in his local trade area.” He added, “In our cafes, we like to say, ‘Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.’ And we are confident that Bimalkumar will embrace this ethos wholeheartedly.”

Paris Baguette aspires not only to provide delightful baked treats but also to foster a sense of community. Their “Love Baked In” programs are designed to support local communities through various charitable initiatives, ensuring their impact goes beyond just serving delicious food.

The Fairfield café promises to be an inviting space where community members can come together, enjoy freshly baked goods, and make cherished memories. As Paris Baguette continues its expansion, it remains committed to enhancing the consumer experience within its bakery cafés, providing not just products but heartfelt connections.
