Paris Baguette is gearing up to bring its bakery-and-cafe concept to Georgetown, locking in a suite at Bluebonnet Plaza on West University Avenue. State project records show construction is slated to kick off on Feb. 16, 2026, wrap up by July 20, 2026, and carry an estimated price tag of $750,000. The tenant finish-out will cover roughly 3,045 square feet, with a small outdoor patio added on top, marking the chain's first location in Georgetown.
State Filing Lays Out Scope, Cost and Schedule
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project entry for "Paris Baguette" lists the Bluebonnet Plaza address at 1314 W. University Avenue, a Feb. 16 start date, a July 20 completion date, a $750,000 estimated cost, and a 392-square-foot exterior patio as part of a 3,045-square-foot tenant fit-out. The filing names Soyeong and Yong Suk Lee as the tenant franchisees and identifies OP III GTX Bluebonnet Plaza Ltd. as the property owner. According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the project is registered in the state's TABS database and currently shows a status of "Project Registered."
Where the Bakery Will Sit and What It Will Sell
The new Paris Baguette is set to take over space at 1314 W. University Ave. in the Bluebonnet Plaza strip center and is expected to serve breakfast pastries, cakes, sandwiches and coffee in line with the brand's other area cafes. Community Impact first flagged the TDLR filing and Georgetown address on Dec. 3, citing the state permit. Menu examples and the chain’s typical cafe model are laid out on Paris Baguette.
Part of a Broader Texas Expansion
Paris Baguette has been ramping up its North American footprint and recently unveiled plans for a major manufacturing investment in Texas to support faster openings across the region. Company materials describe the new plant and related spending as key pieces of a strategy to scale U.S. operations and dramatically increase the number of locations in the coming years. A release on PRWeb outlines the Burleson project and the brand’s expansion goals.
Timeline, Local Context and What’s Next
With a Feb. 16 construction start on the books, the Georgetown buildout is expected to move through permitting, tenant improvements, and accessibility reviews ahead of a projected July completion, although the company has not yet announced a formal grand opening date. Local reporting notes that the franchisees behind the lease have confirmed plans to open in Georgetown, and the plaza owner and design firm are both listed on the state filing. WhatNow Austin has reviewed the permit and shared additional context, while Community Impact has also broken down the plan for local readers.
