From humble beginnings as a food truck on the streets of Colombo, Crepe Runner has evolved into a global sensation. This beloved Sri Lankan brand is making waves internationally with outlets in the Maldives, India and Qatar – and lately, a new branch in Metro Manila in the Philippines.
Despite facing numerous challenges like the Easter Sunday attacks, the pandemic and an economic crisis, Crepe Runner has pushed forward with resilience.
The company has a strong foundation with a plug and play model for seamless international expansion. Its focus on quality, customer satisfaction and operational excellence has enabled it to thrive across borders.
Crepe Runner specialises in both sweet and savoury crepes, with a unique array of toppings and a variety of beverages. The brand also serves Sri Lankan coffee to support local coffee growing communities and their livelihoods.
Founder and CEO Abdus Salaam expresses pride in the brand’s achievements, noting that it is not just about growth but creating meaningful experiences and showcasing Sri Lanka’s talent to the world.
“We’re the only Sri Lankan quick service restaurant (QSR) brand doing this globally, and it feels unreal!” he exclaims, emphasising that this journey of expansion is only a beginning.
With the Philippines as the latest milestone, Crepe Runner continues to expand rapidly, proving that Sri Lanka’s flavours are ready to shine on the world stage.
