Corner Bakery To Double Texas Presence

Bizjournals.com:

Dallas-based Corner Bakery Cafe will expand its reach in Texas to 140 locations — double its current size — including the chain’s first Austin store.

“Austin is a booming market that has long been on our radar,” said John LaBarge, Corner Bakery vice president of franchise business development. “The large student population, presence of young business professionals and strong economy of our state capital make it the perfect place to offer our fast-casual dining experience.”

The fast-casual restaurant has already signed franchise deals with owners in Houston, San Antonio, East Texas and El Paso.
