French Baker launches the Paris fly-off promo!

The French Baker, the original French bakery-cafe that first opened in SM City North Edsa 25 years ago, is now giving back to loyal customers through not just the quality French products, but also by giving one lucky winner a chance to experience the beauty and charm of Paris. Together with Insight Vacations, Rajah Travel Corporation and Etihad Airways, French Baker launched “Visit Paris in Summer 2015” the same day it celebrated its 25th anniversary-- November 4th. The raffle promo allows one lucky winner to visit and experience Paris, France next year. Johnlu G. Koa, professor turned entrepreneur, and now Founder and CEO of The French Baker, proclaimed, “It was in 1985 when I traveled to Europe for the first time that I fell in love with PARIS and her baked goodies. Since then I’ve dreamt of doing the same so that I can impart a similar experience to our kababayans in the Philippines.”

Opening its first branch at the SM City North Edsa in 1989, The French Baker began as a startup selling French-inspired breads and pastries such as baguettes, croissants, sourdough and tarts alongside local favorites like pan de sal and ensaymada, until it expanded into a casual dine-in that also offers soups, salads, pasta and pizza.

It prides itself as the first establishment to introduce European-style breads and pastries in the Philippine market, and the first to employ the nightly half-price sale to ensure the freshness of baked goods to be sold the next day. Today, The French Baker has 52 branches all over the country, and has expanded to include The French Baker “Salon de The” edition.
