Emil and Corina Pop, the owners of real-estate developer Eka Investment Group,  recently opened in Bucharest the first bakery of the "Le Grenier à Pain" franchise, with an investment worth EUR 0.5 million.

"We wanted to open a place for French pastry fans, so we chose "Le Grenier à Pain". The franchise is present in Russia, United Arab Emirates and China," says Corina Pop, who also owns the ‘Only for you’ fashion stores, cited by local Wall-street.ro.

The investment amounted to EUR 0.5 million, EUR 250,000 of which was used for specialized equipment. The owners want to open three other bakeries in the capital in 2015.
