A taste of Paris is now a short drive from downtown Cary. Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café has opened its first North Carolina location at 1 Fenton Main St., Suite 190, bringing sweet and savory crêpes, French-inspired interiors and an all-day breakfast menu to the Triangle while also providing an everyday Parisian escape.
The crêperie marked the milestone with a ribbon-cutting alongside the Cary Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Sept. 8, which was followed by a grand opening celebration Sept. 19.
Festivities were open to the public and featured live caricature artists sketching guests, a balloon installation for photo moments throughout the café and a giveaway of five Longchamp Le Pliage handbags. Guests entered the giveaway by downloading the Sweet Paris app, scanning a QR code on site and joining the Sweet Passport loyalty program, where members collect “Whisks” toward rewards, receive exclusive offers and enjoy a specialty birthday treat.
“Bringing Sweet Paris to Fenton is such a natural homecoming and a place where the brand has always belonged,” said Allison Chavez, CEO and co-founder of Sweet Paris. “The community’s vibrant mix of families, entrepreneurs and students aligns perfectly with the welcoming atmosphere Sweet Paris is known for. We’re thrilled that the Virentes Group is introducing Sweet Paris to another exciting market.”
“Opening our first North Carolina location has been a long time coming, and the welcome we’ve received from Cary has been everything we hoped for,” said James D’Aquila, franchisee and CEO of Virentes Hospitality. “The grand opening celebration was our chance to say thank you properly.
