The Proprietor

Proprietor Karen Lucas was inspired to create a European-styled patisserie and café after several trips abroad. An accomplished cook, she hopes to develop a business that would provide her with a creative outlet, while at the same time challenge her entrepreneurial interests.

Petit Fours (opened in March of 2006) is modeled after many of the small patisseries and cafés she visited while overseas. The name literally translated from French means “small ovens;” however, in France the term is more commonly used to describe a sweet that can be eaten in 2-3 bites. From the beginning the name Petit Fours fit, as Karen wanted to feature smaller, European-sized portions of food.

The tag line, “Chic. Simple. Delicious.” seems to beautifully sum up both the concept and the result!
