Crème Paris has opened a second location in Fresno at 681 E. Nees Ave. following the success of the first shop that launched in April 2026.
Why it matters
The expansion reflects a pivot to capture higher volume through increased physical access after the initial shop saw strong demand.
Kamal Kaur now manages 2 active Fresno shops, having expanded the brand just 6 months after the first unit opened. The new location occupies a renovated space formerly held by a boba shop.
The players
Crème Paris
A dessert and beverage retailer offering a wide menu of sweets and specialty drinks.
Kamal Kaur
The owner and operator of both Fresno Crème Paris locations who previously managed a shop in San Jose.
The details
The new storefront operates a diverse menu including crepes, ice cream, and specialty drinks like horchata and halo halo. Operations leverage third-party delivery platforms such as DoorDash and UberEats to reach customers beyond the immediate vicinity of the Nees Avenue shop. The owner repurposed existing commercial real estate, moving into a space previously utilized by another boba business to minimize build-out complexities.
Timeline
April 2026: First Fresno Crème Paris opened.
October 2026: Second Fresno Crème Paris opened.
Market Landscape
This move follows the standard industry pattern of scaling quick-service food operations into secondary markets once initial proof-of-concept is established. It marks a shift from the owner's previous portfolio strategy in San Jose to a concentrated multi-unit model in the Fresno market.
Operators should evaluate if their current order volume on delivery platforms justifies a second physical footprint to reduce transit times and increase capacity. When expanding, repurposing existing food-service infrastructure as seen at the Nees Avenue site can help control startup costs.
The takeaway
Rapid multi-unit expansion is a viable strategy when demand exceeds the operational throughput of a single facility. Monitor your third-party delivery data to pinpoint high-demand zip codes that could support a future satellite location.
