Bageterie Boulevard opening drive-thru, expanding to Germany

Bageterie Boulevard is planning to add three drive-thrus to its fast food network at shopping centers and along motorways in the Czech Republic. The first drive-thru will open in Vestec on the southern outskirts of Prague, followed by an additional two in Horní Měchopupy and the Průhonice shopping zone. Expansion director Markéta Krejčíková hopes the Czech chain will be able to open locations along the D8 motorway from Prague to Dresden in 2017 and along the D2 from Brno to Bratislava in 2018. The chain is owned by Crocodille, which sells baguettes at petrol stations.

Bageterie Boulevard also wants to open its second restaurant Germany at Mall of Berlin in March. Crocodille has a depot and a manufacturing plant in Berlin. The fast food chain has 27 restaurants on the Czech market as well as locations in Slovakia and Dubai. Expansion plans are targeting Austria, Hungary and Russia.
