Crepe Runner

Crepe Runner is a Sri Lankan fast-food restaurant chain that specializes in crepes, both sweet and savoury.

History

Crepe Runner was founded in Colombo in 2019 by Sri Lankan entrepreneurs Abdus Salaam, Abdus Samad, and Mohamed Suhail, with support from friends and family. The chain currently operates 22 outlets in Sri Lanka and the Maldives,[1] with plans to expand into the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia, and Canada.[2]

It started as a food truck, offering sweet and savory crepes in Colombo.[3] Its success allowed the chain to expand its outlets, both locally and internationally,[4][5][6] with the Malé branch opening on 7 October 2022.[7][8]

Products

The menu includes a variety of toppings and accompaniments such as in-house chocolate spread, loaded chips with spicy meat or melted cheese, and house beverages like milkshakes, mojitos, and hot chocolate.[9][10] The outlets also serve Sri Lankan coffee to support local coffee-growing communities and their livelihoods.[11]
