Bratislava, February 2026 – Queues outside the restaurants, full tables and enthusiastic guests: Koykan, an innovative street food concept originating in Croatia, has quickly become a standout dining destination in Slovakia. With locations in the prestigious Eurovea and Aupark Bratislava shopping centres, Koykan has generated strong interest from day one and confirmed the growing demand for global flavours in a fast-casual format.
Koykan’s appeal lies in a simple but powerful idea: combining speed of service with a diverse, high-quality menu inspired by world cuisines. From burritos and piadina to gyros, burgers, curries and Asian bowls, the concept gives guests variety without compromising on quality or convenience. Under the slogan “Stay Hungry for More”, Koykan has already built strong momentum in Croatia, while Slovakia and the Czech Republic represent the first phase of its international expansion.
Following a strong market entry in Bratislava and Prague in 2025, Koykan is continuing its expansion across the region. During 2026, the brand plans to grow further in Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Germany, with the goal of reaching more than 25 locations by the end of 2027 through a combination of company-owned and franchised restaurants. The expansion strategy is focused on larger urban centres, shopping centres with high footfall, and strategically important traffic locations.
In response to strong local interest, Koykan is actively seeking franchise partners interested for single-unit or multi-unit locations, professional operators interested in area contracts, as well as investors in the CEE region. The ambition is to build a presence in major cities across the CEE & DACH region. Alongside an attractive business model, Koykan offers franchise partners a compelling value proposition, including a targeted return on investment period of approximately two to three years, comprehensive franchisor support covering training, site selection, design, operations and marketing, and a strong regional brand backed by a proven operating model.
At a time when consumers are increasingly looking for food that is high-quality, varied, convenient and aligned with modern lifestyles, Koykan is positioned as an attractive franchise opportunity with a scalable format and growing international recognition. Franchise partners benefit from access to advanced digital tools, business intelligence systems, quality control processes and localised marketing campaigns designed to support performance from launch and beyond.
