Spring Time to make $6m

Spring Time, the fast-food business, has come to own ten restaurants (eight of which located in Bucharest), which makes it a competitor for the McDonald’s network in Romania. Spring Prod Com SRL, owner of the restaurant chain, last year posted $4.8m sales and hopes for $6 million this year, up 25% since 2002. The company is also making sauces and mayonnaise, not only for the Spring Time restaurants, but also for the rest of the market. These products are now sold in the main store chains. The sauces, the mayonnaise and the garlic paste are made under the Spring brand by the company’s Buftea-based plant, following a more than $2m investment. ZF
