If you’re looking to get into the bakery business and serve up delicious goods to your community, opening a pastry shop is an excellent option. With pastries continuing to excel in the global market, bakers are enjoying consistent demand from a public that just can’t get enough of their often sweet, sometimes savory treats. Additionally, an increasing demand for artisanal products is giving ingredient- and process-conscious pastry shop owners even more power with the public. It certainly smells like a delicious opportunity, but how can you break into the market?
At Le Macaron, we’re thrilled to help you get started on the path toward pastry business ownership. Our authentic French macarons may often steal the show, but our patisseries offer a wide range of different pastries for guests to discover and enjoy. What’s more? Our positively unique offerings and iconic branding make us a trusted leader in the pastry business. Throw our simple operations on top of that, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a winning franchise model.
A World of Pastries: Exploring the Pastry Business
When you franchise with Le Macaron, you afford yourself the opportunity to enter the thriving pastry business and sell a wide range of diverse, delectable pastries. While some bakery franchises may have classic croissants available for purchase, only here will you find other truly authentic French pastries and desserts. Our artisanal approach to pastry craft results in painstaking labor in the kitchen, with our Chef Patissier and his all-star team of specially-trained chefs ensuring that every offering is as close to perfection as possible. When it comes to our ingredients, we’re also proudly preservative-free—a crucial difference that guests can taste in every bite.
Our expansive list of delectable macarons will make anyone with a sweet tooth salivate, but what about our other pastries? Guests are consistently excited to find that, on top of our splendid macarons, they can also try other harder-to-find pastries, such as:
- Pan au Chocolat
- Napoléon Mille-Feuille
- Eclairs
We may be famous for our macarons, but our plethora of additional options keeps customers returning to our stores again and again. Once they taste the difference between our pastries and the rest, there’s simply no going back.
Trusted Leadership in the Pastry Business
Within the world of bakeries and pastry shops, Le Macaron stands head and shoulders above the competition. Since 2012, our franchise has been successfully satisfying both guests and investors with our remarkable products, outstanding hospitality, and winning branding. When you hear from current franchisees, they are continually impressed by the level of support they receive and the managerial resources they have access to through us. From initial inquiries and discussions with our team all the way through to opening day and beyond, our goal is to make each member of our franchise family feel supported at every step of the way.
When it comes to branding, we’ve got some of the best in the business. Our iconic pink-and-white color scheme is instantly recognizable, and our minimal, charming interiors feature glass display cases for our macarons and other pastries to shine within. Combining these design elements with our beloved menu items results in an experience that perpetually leaves guests delighted and eager to return.
Our chefs mentioned above contribute to this glowing reputation as well, with each item they create telling the story of a team that believes in making pastries the right way. Of course, our ingredient suppliers and logistics partners are equally important, as they help maintain the high quality and consistency within our products that our guests deserve. From the central kitchen to your storefront, our insistence on putting quality at the forefront will lend you a feeling of confidence as you embark on your franchise adventure.
The Patisserie, Simplified
While the prospect of owning and operating a pastry business sounds enticing in theory to a wide swath of the franchise-curious population, many investors may feel locked out of the business from the start. For one, baking is both an art and a science, and thus, not to be taken lightly; potential franchisees may not necessarily be looking for such a serious commitment to chemistry in the kitchen. On top of that, the daily operations of a bakery call for unorthodox hours from the management team, with bakers having to arrive before the sun even rises in order to adequately prepare for a day of sales.
When you franchise a pastry business with Le Macaron, these considerations are no longer a factor for you. Core to our operations is our central kitchen model, which allows us to simultaneously oversee quality control and take the responsibility of food preparation out of your hands. When you don’t have to worry about whipping eggs and proofing dough at 4 AM, you can tend to a host of other managerial responsibilities, like enhancing current revenue streams and even exploring new ones. This ease of operations also encourages expansion, giving you the option to open multiple locations without having to run each of their kitchens every day.
