The chain has 580 units at this moment and wants to reach a total of 650 by yearend and hit the 1,000-coffee shop mark in the next four years.
Around half of the total number of units are in Bucharest and the planned expansion envisages both cementing presence in cities with a significant number of 5 to go coffee shops already opened, and tapping a number of around 40 new cities.
5 to go is also present in Hungary, where it operates four coffee shops and France, with three units.
The network was launched in 2015 by entrepreneurs Radu Savopol and Lucian Badila.
5 to go in 2023 generated turnover worth around EUR41 million, up around 37% from 2022, in line with ZF calculations.
