<p>"We continue our expansion, with a current focus on the Bucharest metropolitan area. After opening our recent restaurant in Romania’s most trafficked airport, Henry Coandă, in Otopeni, near the Capital, we start our activities in the country’s largest shopping mall, AFI Cotroceni. Another key destination for the Bucharest and Ilfov residents, as well as for a great number of tourists, is Băneasa Shopping City, where Hesburger will also soon be present,” says <strong>Ieva Salmela, International Development &amp; Marketing Director, Hesburger</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hesburger products are recognized for their taste and quality, based on Hesburger sauces, created according to original recipes and produced in its own factories in Finland and Lithuania, and the fact that 100% beef is used in the patties of the burgers.</p>

<p>The Finnish company, founded by Heikki Salmela and his wife Kirsti Salmela, started its fast-food business in 1966 in the small town of Naantali. A family business with a history of over 50 years, Hesburger currently operates in 9 countries and has over 480 restaurants.</p>
