For 2026, Spartan has budgeted investments worth over RON15 million to expand and modernize its 58 restaurants, of which 25 units operated directly and 33 under a franchise system. The company aims to open at least 10 new units in 2026, of which six own restaurants and at least four to be operated by franchisees, while continuing the renovation program for the existing locations.

At the same time, Spartan continues to develop its operations in Spain and is considering expanding into the UK and Ireland.
The business was founded by businessman Stefan Mandachi in 2012, who for almost a decade developed a network of restaurants active in the fast food segment. In 2023, the company Strong MND Corporation, which operates the hospitality business, as well as the Spartan brand, were taken over by Remus Cosovanu, the brand’s first franchisee investor, and Razvan Nanus, a franchisee. Today, the company is owned by several Romanian entrepreneurs.
