Corner Bakery Café recently announced its entry into Brooklyn, N.Y., with the development deal from franchise partner Parikh Network, led by multi-restaurant operator Ashish Parikh.
Parikh Network plans to open eight neighborhood cafes in the borough of Brooklyn, with plans to open its first cafe in 2015.
"New York boroughs, specifically Brooklyn, have seen an upsurge in food and retail growth over the last several years," Gregg Koffler, vice president of franchise sales for Corner Bakery Café, said in a company press release. "With Ashish's understanding of the market and experience as a tireless franchise operator, we have no doubt that Corner Bakery Café will quickly grow to become the choice for craveable, healthy menu options for Brooklyn residents."
Corner Bakery Café has 55 locations currently in development and franchise development commitments for more than 365 additional cafes. The brand plans to more than double its national footprint by 2017.
