Paris Baguette is setting its sights on Tomball, with plans for a new bakery-cafe buildout at Spring Cypress Village Station that will stretch 3,127 square feet. A state project filing details an estimated $750,000 tenant-improvement budget and notes that the space will be created by combining two neighboring retail units. Construction is scheduled to kick off in late March and wrap in late September, putting the opening timeline firmly in 2026.
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the job is registered as Project #TABS2026009910 and was added to the TABS database on Tuesday. The filing lists David Kim as the tenant and gives the address as 22506 State Highway 249, Units 448 and 450. The scope is described as a commercial tenant improvement that will add new kitchen equipment, interior partition walls, plumbing, mechanical work, and electrical upgrades.
Where it will sit
The future Paris Baguette will land in Spring Cypress Village Station, a strip center that already counts Spec's and a Sprouts grocer as anchors, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. The Chronicle notes that the buildout will merge two units at the center and lists the address as 22506 Highway 249. For Tomball shoppers, that translates to an easy grab-and-go stop near a busy grocery hub and another lunch option for nearby offices and surrounding neighborhoods.
Part of a bigger Texas push
Paris Baguette has been stepping on the gas for its U.S. growth. In a Nov. 4 press release via PR Newswire, the company said it exceeded the $2.8 million average unit volume reported in its 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document and now operates more than 4,000 locations worldwide. The same release announced a 260,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Burleson, Texas, which the company says will support faster openings across the region and shore up supply chains for new U.S. cafes.
What to expect inside
Once the doors open, locals can expect the chain's usual spread of French-style pastries with Korean twists, along with cakes, sandwiches, and Lavazza coffee, in line with what is served at other Houston-area Paris Baguette locations, according to the Houston Chronicle. The brand markets itself as both a bakery and a cafe, and its reported unit economics have helped make it a popular pick for franchise groups that are building out in suburban retail centers.
If the timeline in the state filing holds, construction work is expected to begin March 23, and the tenant-improvement project could finish by Sept. 23, 2026, with hiring plans and store hours still to come from the franchisee. Local outlets have been tracking Paris Baguette openings from Webster to McKinney as the brand grows its Texas footprint, and the Tomball permit is the latest sign that more locations are on the way.
