Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café (Houston) will open its inaugural location in Florida, in downtown Doral on Dec. 5, followed by another early next year in Coral Gables. Also in the works are the brand’s first outlets in Oklahoma and Minnesota, along with added locales in Texas (where it already has 10 stores).
Founded in 2012 by Allison and Ivan Chavez, Sweet Paris’ outlets feature French-inspired interiors. “Our mission from day one has been to revive the art of eating crêpes, and we could not be more thrilled to see the expansion of Sweet Paris into the state of Florida,” Allison Chavez said in a news release.
The Sweet Paris in Doral is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Antonio Arizpe and Ivette Escobar.
“We have a passion for food and love the culture that Sweet Paris has created with its employees and franchisees over the years – plus, being a part of the brand’s continued nationwide growth is a huge deal for us,” said Ivette Escobar, whose career includes a stint as Sweet Paris’ Chief Development Officer.
Sweet Paris’ overall plan is to more than double its total store count to 25 within the next few years.
