Why it matters
PAUL ranks here because it brings a consistently recognizable bakery format, strong bread-and-viennoiserie credibility, and a verified Lebanon branch footprint. It is not ranked higher because it is an international operator rather than a Lebanon-rooted institution, but it remains a meaningful bakery player in the country’s urban retail mix.
