Florida-based Le Macaron French Pastries is entering Denver just a few months after announcing that it was ready toexpand across the U.S.
“As we continue to grow, we’re focusing on markets where consumers are driving demand for elevated desserts and experiences,” Rosalie Guillem, co-founder of Le Macaron French Pastries, said in a company press release. “We believe Colorado has an ideal mix of communities and a vibrant, growing population. We’re looking forward to bringing Le Macaron to Colorado and building on the success we’ve seen in other regions across the country.”
Founded by Guillem and her daughter, Audrey Saba, Le Macaron French Pastries brings the roots of French patisseries to the United States. After leaving France and founding the first location in Sarasota, Florida, Guillem has grown it to 64 locations and 11 under construction.
The bakery and confectionary industry has experienced growth in recent years and is at $960 billion with a growth rate of over 5% each year.
“With over 60 locations, 15 years in operation, and 2 million macarons made each year, our size and scale really showcase our success,” Guillem said. “We are dedicated to providing our franchisees with comprehensive support and training to set them up for success. We look forward to finding more franchisees in Colorado and continuing to build the brand and the Le Macaron family.”
The investment to open a Le Macaron location ranges from $91,730 to $454,000 with costs varying based on factors such as location and model, Guillem said.
