Magnolia Bakery, the iconic NYC born and bred bakeshop is experiencing unprecedented growth across international franchising. By 2030, Magnolia Bakery is set to double its international retail bakeries across key markets, as well as launch in all-new territories.
15 years ago, Magnolia Bakery opened its first international location in The Dubai Mall. Today, the brand has more than 35 international franchise locations across the UAE, India, Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar and the Philippines.
Magnolia Bakery continues to grow in new regions and in current markets, having just signed a deal with NAD Holdings to open three bakeries over the next two years in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Further growth is currently shaping up across India where an additional 24 retail bakery locations in Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi will open. The bakery will also continue to expand in Istanbul, Turkey where another 11 new locations will be added.
To support this ongoing growth, Magnolia Bakery is announcing the hires of two new members of the international franchise team: Rick Raison, VP, International Franchise Development and Julio Sanchez, Director of International Franchise Operations.
“Since joining the team earlier this year, I have seen first-hand how our international teams wholeheartedly embrace our mission to make today sweeter than yesterday,” said Rick Raison, VP of International Development and Sales. “We’re excited to continue expanding our footprint across India and Turkey, while also identifying opportunities to bring our proven business model, hospitality-first culture, deep customer loyalty and brand awareness to new international markets and territories around the world.
Additionally, Magnolia Bakery is seeking qualified franchisees across Europe, Asia and Latin America and invites interested parties to visit http://magnoliabakeryfranchise.com/ for more information and to apply.
