Bonrue Bakery, a French-inspired bakery that began in St. George, has opened a location in Provo, the Deseret News reported. [1]

Co-founder Chris Connors told the Deseret News the brand is moving into northern Utah, with a team from southern Utah relocating to staff the new shop. The bakery announced locations for Orem and Spanish Fork and said 10 more across Utah will be announced soon. [1]

Connors founded the bakery in 2021 with partners Li Hsun Sun and Chris Herrin. After the first St. George shop, it expanded to two more locations in southern Utah. Herrin, a chef, died months after the bakery opened, and Connors said the bakery's growth is a tribute to him. [1]

The bakery offers items including butter croissants, sandwiches and kouign-amann. Connors said the goal is to be "the best bakery in every neighborhood." [1]
