La Madeleine is opening inside 10 DFW Walmarts – and bringing their tomato basil soup with them

La Madeleine French Bakery & Café will open smaller, cafe-style restaurants inside several DFW Walmart stores beginning in July.

“We’re very excited about Walmart’s curated food service experience for customers,” said la Madeleine CEO Lionel Ladouceur. “We look forward to making it even more convenient for the DFW community to enjoy the la Madeleine experience, while also introducing our French comfort food to Walmart shoppers that are looking for more diverse dining choices.”

La Madeleine Express will initially open in 10 test locations throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. The first is expected to open in Garland this July and the remaining nine will open later. The Express stores will be smaller than stand-alone locations- ranging from 980 to 2,209 square-feet.

La Madeleine Express will offer grab ‘n go and dine-in options. The menu will include La Madeleine’s Chicken Caesar Salad and Tomato Basil Soup, pizzas, soups, jams and sauces.
