Paris Baguette broke bread and broke ground with help from design-build partners JE Dunn Construction and CRB earlier this fall at the South Korean bakery chain\u2019s first manufacturing plant on U.S. soil.<\/p>\n
\u201cJE Dunn is very excited to work alongside Paris Baguette to further their mission of opening 1,000 bakery cafes in the United States by 2030,\u201d said Krizia Diaz, JE Dunn\u2019s Food & Beverage Market Leader. \u201cBringing manufacturing capabilities stateside is key to that mission. As design-builder, we will be able to work closely and provide a customized solution unique to Paris Baguette\u2019s needs. This project is also integral to JE Dunn\u2019s continued growth in the food & beverage space.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fast-growing bakery brand, owned by SPC Group from South Korea, has 210 stores already open across North America, including 57 new locations added in 2024 alone. Paris Baguette hired general contractor JE Dunn and design partner CRB to build a 267,000 square-foot facility that will reduce the chain\u2019s reliance on frozen dough shipped from Korea or China. Having localized production operations set up on 37 acres south of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro will ensure fresher baked goods, faster distribution, and the ability to meet growing demand in North America.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday marks more than the start of construction \u2014 it\u2019s the foundation of Paris Baguette\u2019s future in the United States,\u201d Paris Baguette North America CEO Darren Tipton said. \u201cWith this $200M-plus facility in Burleson, Texas, we\u2019re not just building walls and machinery; we\u2019re building momentum, innovation and the ability to bring heart, joy and nourishment to even more communities across North America. This is a milestone on our journey to 1,000 caf\u00e9s by 2030 \u2014 and a testament to the passion, dedication and vision of our team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPartnering with Paris Baguette and JE Dunn on this facility is a tremendous opportunity to bring CRB\u2019s food and beverage design expertise to an important project that will localize production and improve speed to market,\u201d said Tom Rychlewski, CRB\u2019s Vice President of Food & Beverage. \u201cBy integrating efficient process flows, advanced food safety design, and scalable infrastructure, JE Dunn and CRB are designing and building a plant that will support Paris Baguette\u2019s operational goals from day one and adapt to future demand with speed and certainty.\u201d<\/p>\n JE Dunn and CRB will work together with other food and beverage subject matter experts to further Paris Baguette\u2019s mission to serve smiles daily. The new manufacturing facility is expected to be completed in the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paris Baguette broke bread and broke ground with help from design-build partners JE Dunn Construction and CRB earlier this fall at the South Korean bakery chain\u2019s first manufacturing plant on U.S. soil. \u201cJE Dunn is very excited to work alongside Paris Baguette to further their mission of opening 1,000 bakery cafes in the United States […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46869,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":""},"campaigns":[],"type-of-content_tax":[146],"class_list":["post-46865","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","type-of-content_tax-press-release-content","locations_tax-dallas","expertise_tax-industrial-manufacturing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/46865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/46865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48174,"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/46865\/revisions\/48174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"campaigns","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/campaigns?post=46865"},{"taxonomy":"type-of-content_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jedunn.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/type-of-content_tax?post=46865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
