CORDOVA, MEMPHIS – Paris Banh Mi, an expanding bakery chain known for its authentic Vietnamese and French cuisine, is nearing the opening of its second location in Memphis. The new eatery will be situated at 2362 North Germantown Parkway, Suite #110, in the space formerly occupied by Genghis Grill. Signs indicating the upcoming opening have already been placed, suggesting that the grand opening could occur in the near future.
Recently, the Town of Cordova confirmed via social media that the new location is actively hiring staff, and preparations are underway to welcome customers. However, despite visible signs of progress and enthusiasm, no definitive timeline for the opening has been announced yet. The Cordova outlet is currently listed as “coming soon” on the bakery’s official website and its social media accounts.
The operational hours for the Cordova location have also been announced. When it opens, diners can expect to enjoy Paris Banh Mi’s offerings from Monday to Thursday between 10 am and 10 pm, Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 11 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm. This ensures that there will be plenty of opportunities for guests to experience their delightful menu.
Paris Banh Mi currently has an existing location in Collierville at 255 New Byhalia Road #116, where it has garnered attention and a loyal customer base for its unique menu items. The bakery specializes in the famous bánh mì, a Vietnamese sandwich that features a crispy French baguette filled with a variety of savory ingredients and toppings, as well as a selection of traditional pastries that combine both Vietnamese and French culinary influences.
The chain was established by Hien Tran, originally from Paris, France, and Doan Nguyen, hailing from Saigon, Vietnam. Their vision was to create a dining space where customers could enjoy authentic dishes while experiencing warm hospitality and spacious seating. The combination of their cultural backgrounds is reflected in the menu and ambiance of the eateries.
Originally starting in Orlando, Florida, Paris Banh Mi has since expanded across the United States, including notable locations from California to Florida. This growth showcases the increasing popularity of their unique culinary offerings. The origins of the bánh mì itself date back to the mid-19th century when the French introduced the baguette to Vietnam. By the 1950s, Saigon had developed its distinctive sandwich style, which merges local flavors with traditional French bread, resulting in the food experience that Paris Banh Mi aims to share.
As Paris Banh Mi prepares to make its mark in Cordova, local residents are eagerly anticipating the arrival of this bakery chain. The combination of authentic Vietnamese dishes and the welcoming atmosphere promises to enrich the local dining scene. While the exact grand opening date remains unclear, community members are hopeful to soon enjoy the culinary delights offered at the new location.
