Paris Baguette Celebrates Grand Opening of New Freehold Café on November 13

Ami and David Shah celebrate the opening of their Paris Baguette café at 280 West Main Street, Unit 105

FREEHOLD, N.J., Nov. 13, 2026 — Paris Baguette and franchise owners Ami and David Shah recently opened their newest bakery café at 280 West Main Street, Unit 105, in Freehold, New Jersey. The couple will officially celebrate the opening with a grand opening event on November 13, where guests can enjoy a free pastry and free brewed coffee with any purchase from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the celebration.

The new bakery café brings Paris Baguette's signature assortment of artisan pastries, cakes, breads, and handcrafted beverages to the Freehold community. With more than 4,000 locations worldwide and 300+ bakery cafés operating across North America, the brand continues to expand its footprint, with multiple locations in development. The established and growing concept is rapidly strengthening its presence in key markets.

Ami and David, residents of Monroe, New Jersey, have been loyal fans of Paris Baguette for more than 15 years. Now opening their second location with the brand, the couple's journey began when Ami first fell in love with Paris Baguette while pregnant with their son and visiting the Edison café. After careers in IT and engineering, the couple wanted to pursue something more personal and community-focused, and Paris Baguette felt like the right place to begin their next chapter.

"We want to create a place where people feel welcome, whether they're stopping in for their morning coffee, picking up something special for a loved one, or gathering with friends and family," said Ami. "Having been loyal Paris Baguette customers for more than 15 years, we understand what makes the brand special and look forward to bringing that experience to the Freehold community through great service, quality products, and meaningful connections with our customers."

The Freehold café opening is a milestone for the brand, and the 33rd in the state of New Jersey. Paris Baguette plans to reach 1,000 locations across the U.S. and Canada by 2030 and is expanding through meaningful partnerships with local entrepreneurs who show a genuine interest in bringing people together over fresh-baked goods and artisan coffee beverages.

"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 Ami and David bring this to life in their local trade area," said Darren Tipton, Chief Executive Officer of Paris Baguette. "In our cafes we like to say, 'Happy to see you. Happier to serve you.' And we know Ami and David will wholeheartedly embrace this approach in their neighborhood."
