Why Magnolia Bakery

A New York City Icon Since 1996 

Magnolia Bakery is more than a neighborhood bakery. It’s an established brand with a global following and a legacy built on care, quality and a little confectionary magic.


For the first time, we are opening our doors to franchise ownership in the U.S., almost 30 years after we opened our first store on Bleecker Street.


In a fast-growing dessert industry, we lead with a loyal following, best-in-class products, and a trusted name known globally. And yet, something about our brand still feels local, familiar, and personal. As we expand, we’re looking for franchise owners who share that mission and see the extraordinary in the everyday.


Be among the first to bring Magnolia Bakery to your neighborhood by joining a beloved brand with generational appeal and a strong foundation for long-term success.

OUR STORY LEADERSHIP OUR MENU STEPS TO OWNERSHIP THE NUMBERS

Our Story

The story of the world’s most famous bakery begins in 1996 on a quaint, cobblestone corner in the West Village where Magnolia Bakery opened its doors for the first time. 



Our Red Velvet Cupcakes became iconic and people lined up around the block for our fresh Banana Pudding. Magnolia Bakery became a destination for locals and tourists alike.

It was time for us to open the cupboards and share our magic with the world. Our neighborhood bakery found its way into new neighborhoods near and far to help people celebrate their most important moments.



And while we continue to grow, a few things will always remain: open early and close late, a dollop of buttercream makes everything better, and our mission: Make today sweeter than yesterday.
