Banh Shop, the innovative Asian street food fast casual concept, has recently launched its premier establishment in Fort Worth, Texas.

Nestled in the vibrant restaurant enclave along University Avenue at TCU, Banh Shop boasts a prime location. Crafted by industry trailblazer Mark Brezinski, the menu showcases beloved Asian street food classics, including an array of soups, salads, sandwiches, and bowls.

Additionally, the recently opened dining establishment includes a comprehensive full-service bar.

YEB II, the current owner and franchisor of the Banh Shop brand in the United States and Canada, will be responsible for owning and operating the latest Banh Shop location.

YEB II president and CEO Ken Myres said, “We are thrilled to open the University Ave Banh Shop near TCU.

“We have two additional Banh Shops under development in Irving on MacArthur Blvd. and in the Shops at Park Lane in Dallas that will open in the next several months.

“Banh Shop is a fantastic concept with a proven track record and we look forward to continuing to grow and franchise the brand in the US and internationally. We value our partnership with YUM and also look forward to continuing to work closely with their team.”

Originally created by Yum Brands, Banh Shop was meant to take advantage of the demand for real Vietnamese bowls and baguettes in a range of busy settings.

Banh Shop opened its first location at SMU in Dallas and then at Terminal D at DFW International Airport.

It has also opened restaurant outlets at Toronto Pearson International Airport and Vancouver International Airport in Canada.

Banh Shops added that additional airport locations such as “street side” development, are in the process.
