About Paradise Bakery & Cafe
While the "fast casual" bakery/cafe concept has gained popularity with consumers, developers and investors in recent years, Paradise Bakery & Cafe was one of the pioneers in this segment of the restaurant industry. Since its founding in 1976, the Company has followed a conservative growth strategy, choosing to establish its brand and reputation in the industry before expanding its presence. We have had significant interest in franchising opportunities as Paradise has successful street, downtown, resort, airport and mall locations. We are presently looking to franchise on a very limited basis, and only in certain key geographic markets. For those markets, we are looking for established multi-unit operators to join our passion driven culture as franchisees and make a commitment to high quality, delicious, freshly prepared food served with exceptional customer service in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
