"In the first 12 months, these locations are to generate €2 million worth of business. We plan to open a further seven units in Romania and to enter the Bulgarian market," Vasilescu said. Next year's investments are likely to amount to €1.4 million, to be amortized in some two years.
Other cafe chains operating on the local market are Starbucks, Gloria Jean's and Centro.

Businessman Octavian Radu also plans to invest in the energy sector and to open a store in New York.
