West Covina, Calif. — Red Ribbon Bakeshop, Inc., the Philippines-founded bakery that offers an array of sweet and savory baked goods, debuted its first-ever drive-thru service in the U.S. as part of its new store opening on Westheimer Road in Houston on March 5th.
“We’re so excited to make our delicious baked goods more accessible to the Westheimer community through the opening of our first-ever drive-through amenity,” says Agnes Briones, business unit head, Red Ribbon Bakeshop, Inc. “We look forward to bringing this added convenience to both our fans and newcomers to our brand who are curious to try our signature cakes, pastries and other baked treats that make Red Ribbon so special and unique.”
In addition to drive-thru service, the new Westheimer store will feature café-style seating for those who want to enjoy their bakery treats right on the spot. Customers also can order either take-out or delivery through the following online channels: the Red Ribbon ordering app (available at the App Store and Google Play); the Red Ribbon website (www.redribbonbakeshop.us) and DoorDash.
The new Westheimer store not only marks the brand’s first U.S. location to offer drive-thru service, but it also represents Red Ribbon’s second location in Houston, and its 36th in the U.S.
