South Korea-based bakery cafe TOUS les JOURS is bringing its third Central Ohio shop to Powell, with a new location slated for this fall at 10726 Sawmill Parkway, Suite 102. The bakery will anchor The Shoppes at Wedgewood, putting the chain’s French-Korean pastries, breads and specialty drinks within easy reach of northern Columbus suburbs.
Fans can expect a pastry case that leans into flaky European techniques while folding in Asian flavors, the kind of mashup that has already turned the brand into a regular weekend stop in other Ohio neighborhoods.
The company teased the Powell opening on its social channels, and local media quickly picked up the trail. What Now reported that the Sawmill Parkway shop is planned for The Shoppes at Wedgewood and highlighted the address and suite number in today's update. Columbus Underground and other outlets have been following TOUS les JOURS’ steady Central Ohio expansion.
Menu highlights
When the doors finally open, dessert planners in Powell will have some decisions to make. Expect Mango Croissant, Milk Cream Red Bean Bread, Purple Sweet Potato Loaf and Yuzu Pie among rotating pastries, according to 614Now.
The chain is known for pairing classic French-style laminated doughs and breads with Korean fillings and flavors, so the case usually splits between comfortingly familiar. Those hybrid items have helped fuel the brand’s popularity in other Ohio markets.
Chain footprint and history
TOUS les JOURS launched in South Korea before expanding abroad and entered the U.S. market in 2004, according to TOUS les JOURS. A recent company press release says the bakery cafe now runs roughly 200 locations nationwide and nearly 1,900 worldwide, per PR Newswire.
Regional coverage has sometimes cited lower U.S. store counts, a discrepancy noted in local reporting such as the WCMH feature republished on AOL: WCMH/NBC4. Either way, the brand is clearly in expansion mode.
Where it will sit
The Powell bakery will move into Suite 102 at The Shoppes at Wedgewood, a new 10-unit retail strip next to Target on Sawmill Parkway. The project began vertical construction in 2025 and has been filling out its roster of first-wave tenants. Leasing notes and project details preserved by county planners, including a summary from Columbus Business First (via Regional Planning), indicate tenant build-outs were expected to roll through 2026.
Hiring and neighborhood reaction
Job listings tied to the future Powell shop have already appeared on employment sites, signaling that hiring is underway, according to postings on Indeed. The news has stirred up plenty of online commentary from Dublin and Powell residents, with more than a few locals joking that another bakery within easy driving distance will be “dangerous” for anyone trying to stick to lighter eating, as noted by 614Now.
What Now reports it has reached out to TOUS les JOURS for more specifics on local ownership and an exact opening date. Expect more updates as tenant build-outs progress and the bakery locks in its timeline.
