The two new franchised units are located in Bucharest’s Old Town and Baneasa Shopping City.
“The coffee & food snack market in Romania is growing and so is consumer appetite for Greek products judging by our 1,000 daily customers in Romania. We have already signed contracts to open new stores in areas such as Militari, Balotesti, Colloseum Retail Park, Mihai Bravu and an office building. We will continue development via franchised units,” said George Makridis, CEO of Green Break SRL, which owns the Gregory’s brand in Romania.
Founded in 1972, Gregory’s is currently the ninth largest chain on the coffee & food snack market in Europe . It has over 340 stores in Greece, Cyprus, Germany and Romania.
The Greek chain returned to the Romanian market in 2018 after a few years’ break. Gregory’s first entered the Romanian market at the end of 1999 and in 2002 it introduced a second brand – Coffeeright.
