Experienced Strategic Partners Add Third
Location to Bolster Portfolio with Houston-Based Fast-Casual
Brand
HOUSTON, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweet Paris Crêperie
& Café, the ultra-popular restaurant brand specializing in
sweet and savory crêpes, hot drinks and more, announces a new
location will open in Cypress,
Texas in the first quarter of 2025. With development
underway, the new location at 20240 Summit Point Crossing, Suite
B1-150, spearheaded by strategic partners Mike and Mary Kelton, will be joining the duos'
two existing top performing locations in The Woodlands and Austin. The store will also represent the
eighth Houston Metro Area crêperie
for the brand, and will be a highlight within the vibrant Village
Green at Bridgeland Central mixed use development by Howard Hughes.
The husband-wife team began their journey with Sweet Paris in
2018. After successful careers climbing the corporate ladder for an
international company, the couple was ready to embark on their own
venture. Given their passion for culinary experiences and prior
encounters with the brand, they found themselves drawn to Sweet
Paris, recognizing it as a unique concept to bring to the market.
As first-time restaurant owners, the Keltons leaned into Sweet
Paris' experienced leadership team for guidance. After finding
great success with their first location in The Woodlands, the couple reinvested in the
franchise, opening an Austin
location in 2020. Now with both locations operating as top
performers within the brand, the couple is eager to add Bridgeland
to their thriving portfolio.
"This new location is a dream realized for Mary and I. Six years
ago, we initially invested in a concept that we believed in and now
we own two strong locations and are opening our third in the
state," said Mike Kelton. "As
we embark on this new journey, we are eager to bring the successful
model developed in collaboration with Sweet Paris to a prime
community like Bridgeland, in Cypress."
The Keltons hope to emulate the strong community-centric culture
they've established in their other locations with continued
investment in local youth and development organizations.
"The Keltons have been top performers in our system, largely
attributed to their ability to connect with customers and the local
community alike," said Allison
Chavez, co-founder of Sweet Paris. "We have complete
confidence the Keltons will bring their enthusiastic spirit and
hands on attitude to introduce the growing Bridgeland community to
Sweet Paris."
Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café continues to expand nationwide,
now boasting 17 stores in operation located in Austin, College Station, Houston, McAllen and San
Antonio, Texas, Doral and
Coral Gables, Florida,
the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and resort locations in
Mexico.
The success of the brand has not gone unnoticed, most recently
being featured on Entrepreneur Magazine's Top New and
Emerging Franchises. Also, co-founders Allison and Ivan Chavez landed on Global
Franchise Magazine's 10 Emerging Leaders to Watch, and Allison was
included in Nation's Restaurant News' annual Power List, an
exclusive group of 50 leaders who are identified as the most
innovative and inspiring people in the restaurant industry.
Sweet Paris is looking to
partner with qualified and engaged individuals seeking multi-unit
opportunities through its strategic partnership model. The brand
offers a highly scalable opportunity with strong
profit-potential.
