A South Korean bakery chain is moving into the space once occupied by Flying Biscuit Cafe at Parkaire Landing in East Cobb, filling a storefront that had sat empty for nearly two years. TOUS les JOURS is renovating the location at the Lower Roswell and Johnson Ferry roads shopping center, bringing its mix of fresh-baked breads, pastries, light cakes and coffee drinks to a plaza that's already in the middle of a major makeover.
The Flying Biscuit space has been vacant since the original restaurant closed, according to East Cobb News, which first reported the new tenant and noted that property manager Jamestown L.P. has already added TOUS les JOURS to the Parkaire Landing directory. That vacancy dates back to September 2024, when the Flying Biscuit Cafe location closed for good after opening in March 2021, as East Cobb News reported at the time.
A Shopping Center Already Mid-Transformation
TOUS les JOURS isn't the only tenant reshaping Parkaire Landing right now. Kroger is spending $23 million to expand its anchor store at the same center from 59,000 to 85,000 square feet by absorbing three adjacent vacant storefronts, while also building a 12-pump fuel station in the middle of the parking lot, according to WSB-TV. That construction is expected to run through spring 2027. Built in 1987, the 132,600-square-foot center draws roughly 2.5 million visitors a year, including more than 1 million grocery shoppers, per property manager Jamestown L.P.
Jamestown L.P. expanded its reach in East Cobb in late 2024 when it acquired North American Properties' Atlanta unit, bringing Parkaire Landing and the nearby Avenue East Cobb mixed-use center under related corporate management, East Cobb News has reported previously. The grocery landscape nearby is also in flux: the 56,000-square-foot Woodlawn Point Publix, less than a mile away on Johnson Ferry Road, closed temporarily earlier this year for a multi-month interior renovation that Hoodline covered in East Cobb Publix going dark for months.
What TOUS les JOURS Brings to the Table
TOUS les JOURS, which means “every day” in French, describes itself as a fusion bakery concept and bakes dozens of varieties of bread, croissants, pastries and light cakes fresh on-site daily. The menu also includes coffees, teas and other blended drinks, and locations typically stay open into dinner hours, though specific hours vary by store, according to East Cobb News.
The chain is owned by a South Korean company and has more than 1,800 locations worldwide. In metro Atlanta, TOUS les JOURS already operates eight bakeries, in Riverdale, Peachtree City, Decatur, Doraville, Duluth, Johns Creek, Suwanee and Buford, and the company has additional locations planned for Midtown and Sandy Springs, East Cobb News reports. The Sandy Springs lease was signed in August, part of the chain's broader push into suburban Atlanta submarkets, according to Tone to Atlanta.
A Bigger Push Behind the Single Storefront
The East Cobb opening fits into a much larger expansion strategy. TOUS les JOURS had reached 205 North American locations by mid-2026 and is targeting 1,000 North American bakeries by 2030, supported by eight consecutive years of U.S. profitability through 2025, according to Chosunbiz. Parent company CJ Foodville's U.S. subsidiary generated roughly $137.8 million in Americas revenue in 2025, fueled by a nearly 40% year-over-year sales surge and strong demand for items like its whipped-cream Cloud Cake line, per Restaurant Business.
That growth is backed by a dedicated supply chain inside Georgia itself. CJ Foodville began operating a $47 million, 90,000-square-meter automated production plant in Gainesville in late 2025, capable of producing more than 100 million items a year, including frozen dough and cakes, to supply TOUS les JOURS franchises across North America, Chosunbiz reported. The Hall County facility effectively turns Georgia into the brand's manufacturing hub for its entire continental rollout.
TOUS les JOURS and its chief South Korean rival, Paris Baguette, had combined for more than 500 total U.S. storefronts by mid-2026 as both chains lean into suburban grocery-anchored retail plazas, Hoodline reported in its story on the chain's Montclair store closure. East Cobb's new location is one small piece of that regional buildout, following similar moves the chain has made elsewhere in the Southeast, including a store takeover in Jacksonville's Baymeadows area reported by Hoodline earlier this year.
