The agreement – which provides for a minimum  of 30 new openings in the next 5 years in the airport, motorway and railway channels – is part of the strategy already undertaken by Chef Express to expand its brand portfolio and is consistent with the growth path started four years ago by Alice Pizza with the entry of the Italian investment fund, IDeA Taste of Italy.
