Introduction[edit]

Crepe Runner [1] is a three times national award-winning Sri Lankan fast-food restaurant chain that specializes in crepes, both sweet and savory. The menu [2] includes a variety of toppings and accompaniments such as in-house chocolate spread, loaded chips with spicy meat or melted cheese, and house beverages like milkshakes, mojitos, and hot chocolate. The outlets also serve Sri Lankan [3] coffee to support local coffee-growing communities and their livelihoods.

Crepe Runner was founded in Colombo in 2019 [3] by Sri Lankan entrepreneurs Abdus Salaam, Abdus Samad, and Mohamed Suhail, with support from friends and family. The chain currently operates [4] over 10 outlets in Sri Lanka and has expanded internationally to the Maldives. The company aims to continue its expansion to new markets [5] such as the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia, and Canada.

International Expansion[edit]

Crepe Runner opened its newest branch in Malé [6], Maldives on October 7th, 2022, with the goal of taking Sri Lanka's best crepes to the international market. The company has quickly become a favorite among locals and tourists in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

History[edit]

Crepe Runner's history dates back to January 2019 [7], when it started as a food truck offering sweet and savory crepes in Colombo. The overwhelming demand [8] led to the expansion of the company to multiple outlets, both in Sri Lanka and internationally. The company's success story [9] is rooted in its mission to serve as many smiles and create as many memories [10] as possible through its food.
