The Sportfood project involves the opening of 250 restaurants during the next four years, between street stores, shopping malls and express kiosks.

The operation is the first of a fundraising program to support the expansion process of the Company. The resources will enable the opening of proprietary units and strengthening the structure and Sportfood’s team.
