Dallas' Empire Baking Co. to acquire Bisous Bisous in West Village
Macarons
There's a change rising in Dallas' bakery world: Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie, the pastry shop in Dallas' West Village, is changing hands.
The shop is being taken over by Robert and Meaders Ozarow, owners of Empire Baking Co., who will take over the lease from owner-founder chef Andrea Meyer.
The move will allow Empire Baking Co. to open their third retail space in the city and introduce their artisan breads, pastries, and grab-and-go sandwiches to another pocket of Dallas.
It also allows Chef Andrea to officially retire from the kitchen, a necessary move to maintain her health after surviving bone cancer and multiple surgeries.
“Andrea has always had the same commitment to quality and customer service as we do, and we hope her loyal customers at West Village see how that translates into our breads and pastries,” Meaders Ozarow says.
The store will have all the traditional aspects of an Empire Baking Co. store, but with the addition of a more robust coffee program.
Additionally, as was a priority for both owners, all of the Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie employees will be offered positions within Empire Baking Co., giving them an opportunity to further their knowledge and skills within the industry.
Chef Andrea encourages all of Bisous’ fans, friends, regulars and former employees to stop in this last week to say goodbye and snag a pastry or two.
Bisous Bisous Pâtisserie will stay open as long as there are pastries and coffee to sell, likely through mid-day Monday, October 21. Any and all hour changes will be posted on Empire Baking Co.’s social media as necessary.
The owners expect a quick three-day turnaround to transform the space and plan to reopen as Empire Baking Co. on October 24 at 8 am.
