Sweet Paris Crêperie reveals location of first Twin Cities café, with 3 more to follow
Fast-casual restaurant chain Sweet Paris Crêperie and Café has announced Woodbury will be home to the first of its four planned Minnesota restaurants.
The Houston-based business' first foray in Minnesota will be at 265 Radio Drive, within the CityPlace shopping and dining district. Construction is expected to begin this spring, with an opening date planned sometime this summer.
The company announced its expansion to the Midwest in August, striking a "multi-unit deal" that will open four total locations within the Twin Cities. Originally, the company told Bring Me The News its first opening would happen in the spring and another location opening in the second half of the year.
The company previously told Bring Me The News it's expecting to open two of those cafés in 2023, with the other two expected in 2024 and 2025.
Sweet Paris debuted in Texas in 2012 and now has ten locations in the Lone Star State, but has since branched out to Mexico, Florida, Oklahoma, and now Minnesota.
The menu includes a variety of French sweet, savory, and breakfast crêpes, as well as waffles, paninis, eggs, salads, and cocktails.
The company is joining forces with a group of partners in the Twin Cities including Dan and Brenda Vansteenburg, who were one of the first Jimmy John's franchisees in Minnesota in 2001, and now own 35 stores across the Twin Cities and dozens more in other states.
Sweet Paris Crêperie and Café recently ranked 17th nationally on Entrepreneur Magazine's 2022 list of the best new and emerging franchises.
