Description

SmashVille, a new burger chain launched by the entrepreneurs behind Poke House, is set to open 20 locations and create between 160 and 200 jobs, with an initial investment of €2 million.

The objective is to reach 20 shops by the end of 2026. According to the founders, “in the short term, we’re aiming to open 10 shops, with a medium-term target of 20.”

During the initial phase, all stores will be company-owned, although the founders are considering a franchising model for future expansion
