IBERSOL Annual Report and Consolidated Accounts 2017

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 FrescCo was created in 1994 when its first restaurant opened in Barce- lona. There are currently 11 restaurants in Spain. With over 20 years’ ex- perience, the brand is 100% engaged in offering its customers a choice of healthy, tasty food, using fresh, seasonal products and preparing dishes and salads inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. The brand is renowned for offering healthy, natural and balanced food with a fixed price Buffet concept, where customers choose their meal. The brand reached the end of 2017 with a total of 70 employees and 11 restaurants in Spain, of which 3 are owned (all in Barcelona) and 8 are franchised, distributed all over Spain. The Market Buffet is the new restaurant concept launched by FrescCo in 2016, designed as an evolution of the Buffet, where customers can adapt their meals according to their preferences, thanks to a new gastronomic offer based on quality-guaranteed local fresh products, created for Cus- tomers who seek a healthy and balanced diet, with the best quality-price relationship. The new establishments also have a Kitchen & Grill area, where customers can enjoy the best pizzas, grilled meat and fish, and hamburgers cooked on the spot and in front of the consumer. In 2017 the implementation of this newmodel in the 3 owned restaurants was finalised, following the refurbishment of the FrescCo Maremagnum restaurant. SPAIN 65
