Spartan has opened its 58th restaurant in Romania, a new location in Râmnicu Vâlcea that marks a significant investment of RON 1.5 million. This opening aligns with the company’s strategic expansion plan, which includes more than RON 4 million in investments for 2026.
Details of the New Restaurant
Located in Shopping City Râmnicu Vâlcea, the new Spartan restaurant covers an area of 110 square meters and was designed according to the brand’s latest standards. The establishment has created 15 new jobs, bringing the total number of employees in the chain to over 1,000 across Romania.
CEO's Comments
Gabriel Melniciuc, CEO of Spartan Restaurants, highlighted the importance of this new location as part of their national expansion strategy. He emphasized the company’s collaboration with strong local franchise partners, like Lukfood Team, which has been a key factor in the success of the Spartan brand in Romania.
Franchise Partner and Menu Offerings
The Râmnicu Vâlcea restaurant is operated by Lukfood Team, headed by Nicolas Ciprian, who already manages six other Spartan restaurants in cities such as Craiova, Alba Iulia, Târgu Mureș, and Turda. The new location offers the full Spartan menu, including gyros dishes prepared with chicken, beef, pork, and lamb, alongside the brand’s signature sauces and pita bread.
