AU BON PAIN

CDO Group excels at bringing Au Bon Pain’s urban bakery-café concept to life in some of the most iconic—and often unconventional—real estate spaces across the country, including carved-out lobby spots and transit hubs. Collaborating with brand leadership, landlords, and leasing specialists, CDO’s teams executed both new store builds and remodels in uniquely challenging footprints—sometimes as compact as 60 to 160 square feet—while maintaining Au Bon Pain’s refined aesthetic and operational flow. This specialized expertise supports the brand’s broader repositioning and expansion efforts under AMPEX Brands, which in recent years have focused on modernizing the café experience with self-serve bakeries, to-go stations, and seamless layouts.
