The franchise section of their French website does mention it is an international chain that decided it was ready to enter the French market, but without specifying its country of origin.

That was a pretty bold move. I wonder how successful they are in France. I may have purchased their bread while I was in Asia, but I’m no connoisseur when it comes to bakery products, so I can’t say if they’re authentic. Anyone has an opinion?

They opened up their first location here in NYCC - I'd say it's pretty good - though not amazing - and in NYCC I actually think there are better options - and it's not a french bakery - this isn't a bad thing per se - it's a different thing in terms of taste.

I was aware that Paris Baguette is a Korean chain for some time, but found out about it only after they opened at Yonge Sheppard Centre in March 2023. That being said, their name certainly has the potential to mislead customers about their origin.

They have locations everywhere in Korea. There’s nothing special or high end about them, at least in Korea.

I've never thought about it much, but I always assumed Smeg was scandinavian.

Their designs are retro-cool, but their brand name ... let's just say it sounds like a discharge from a certain male body part.

I also have suspicions about that Swiss Chalet chain.

Burberry opens its flagship location in the former Pottery Barn store (vacant since before the pandemic), although when I passed by today around 6 pm the store was closed.
