Hero Brands CEO Athif Sarwar said: “Eating-out is changing and younger consumers are demanding a shorter dwell time, great-tasting healthier food and an aspirational-experience that is shareable on their social channels.
“We are very much looking forward to launching in Bloomsbury, bringing co-founders Nikras and Bijan Azadfard the unrivalled expertise and the financial backing to truly launch and grow the Choppaluna brand throughout the UK.”
Established in Berlin as ‘Salaid’ brand, Choppaluna offers a range of healthy menu choices such as chopped salads, smoothie bowls and choprolls along with more than 60 fresh toppings to customers.
Hero Brands works with various restaurant brands to assist them in expanding their business.
In May, the company’s fast-casual brand German Doner Kebab (GDK) announced plans to expand its business with an investment of more than £6m in the UK.
