La Madeleine, a French-inspired bakery and café, has signed an agreement with SM Franchise to develop three new locations in Houston and College Station in the US state of Texas up to 2027.

He plans to open the first La Madeleine location by the end of 2025 in College Station, followed by a café in College Station and one in the Houston Designated Market Area in 2026. La Madeleine CEO John Dillon expressed confidence in the brand's growth potential, stating: "Our unit economics, unique positioning and proven systems have been successful in attracting restaurateurs who bring significant experience to the La Madeleine brand." La Madeleine, a brand of Groupe Le Duff, operates almost 100 corporate and franchise locations in multiple US states and one international café. The menu includes all-day breakfast, brunch, soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, coffees and entrées, along with a traditional French bakery display featuring fresh bread and pastries.
