A Texas company has purchased 26 La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe locations in Houston, Austin, and Louisiana—including the two in Baton Rouge.
HZ LM Casual Foods of Sugar Land bought the locations from Le Duff America, the parent company of La Madeleine. In addition to the three markets purchased, the company also expects to close on a fourth market—Atlanta—in the next several weeks.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Le Duff America, which is based in Dallas, announced plans to sell the locations in March to focus on a companywide expansion and the U.S. launch of the global café brand Brioche Doree.
La Madeleine has locations in Perkins Rowe and Bocage Village. The restaurant also has three locations in the New Orleans area, one in Mandeville and another in Lafayette.
