London-based fast-casual chain CrepeAffaire plans to open its first U.S. locations in the first half of 2019. The company is currently in early talks with potential U.S. food and beverage joint venture partners for the concept's launch into the U.S. market.
CrepeAffaire currently has 20 locations open and 12 under development in Europe and the Middle East. The brand offers a variety of sweet and savory crepes, waffles, coffees, and juices. Last year, CrepeAffaire launched fully gluten-free options and is now introducing a comprehensive "free-from" product offering.
In the U.S., CrepeAffaire sees an opportunity to become the leading crepe concept to fill this service gap, as the market has no branded chains at a national level that focus on crepes. CrepeAffaire offers formats ranging from traditional cafe locations to kiosks and even food trucks.
