Paris Baguette is lining up a second McKinney bakery-café, this time in a South Custer Road retail center, with construction slated to kick off in June and wrap up in late November 2026. State project paperwork pegs the buildout at roughly $300,000 for a 3,644-square-foot unit and lists franchisee James Jung as the tenant. The planned café follows the chain’s first McKinney outpost, which opened earlier this spring along the University Drive corridor.

State filing lays out timeline and size

According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Project #TABS2026018219 lists the address as 5621 S. Custer Rd., #201 and records a June 1 start date with a Nov. 30 completion. The filing shows an estimated cost of $300,000 and describes the scope as "Set up the baguette store" for 3,644 square feet. It also names Legacy North Realty LLC as the owner and JWK as the design firm, with James Jung recorded as the tenant.

What they’ll sell

A company representative confirmed the new café will offer Paris Baguette’s familiar spread of cakes, tarts, pastries and donuts, plus savory items such as four‑cheese quiche and pepperoni pizzetta, along with sandwiches, salads and hot and cold beverages, according to Community Impact. That lineup mirrors what the chain serves at other Dallas‑Fort Worth locations.

Where it will live

Commercial property listings for the Custer Road retail cluster show Paris Baguette among signed tenants at the center near 5611 S. Custer Rd., indicating the brand has already claimed space in the shopping strip, per LoopNet. The spot sits on a busy retail stretch that should help capture morning commuters and grocery‑run foot traffic.

Already in McKinney

Paris Baguette opened its first McKinney location on the University Drive/US‑380 corridor on March 16, joining nearby Allen, Frisco and Plano cafes in the region, according to Community Impact. The Custer Road project will broaden the brand’s local footprint and give south McKinney residents another bakery‑café option.

Part of a bigger growth push

The Custer Road filing lines up with a broader Paris Baguette rollout across North Texas this year, with multiple café openings and state filings recorded in markets such as Richardson and Tomball, according to company press materials. Paris Baguette's U.S. expansion is being tracked in corporate releases and local coverage, per a company press release via PR Newswire.

A formal grand-opening date for the Custer Road café has not been announced. Work on the fit-out is scheduled to span the summer and fall, with the TDLR filing pointing to a late‑November completion window.
