Crepe Runner is a Sri Lankan fast-food restaurant chain that specializes in crepes, both sweet and savoury. The menu 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.[1][2] The outlets also serve Sri Lankan coffee to support local coffee-growing communities and their livelihoods.[3]
The company was founded in Colombo in 2019 by Sri Lankan entrepreneurs Abdus Salaam, Abdus Samad, and Mohamed Suhail, with support from friends and family.[3] The chain currently operates 13 outlets in Sri Lanka and the Maldives,[4] with plans to expand into the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia, and Canada.[5]
History
The fast-food chain began operations in January 2019 when it started as a food truck, offering sweet and savory crepes in Colombo.[6] Its success allowed the chain to expand its outlets, both locally and internationally,[7][8][9] with the Malé branch opening on 7 October 2022.[10][11]
