Opening Koykan at Černý Most, Prague — A Small Win With a Big Meaning

Some moments in this journey feel simple, but important. Opening our second Koykan store in Czechia is one of those moments — a quiet confirmation that the work in providing premium food with fair prices makes sense.

With Černý Most location now live, we close this year’s expansion across three countries. Koykan grows to 8 restaurants, with 5 more signed and being built in different stages.

Over the next 12 months, our group revenue will reach a minimum of €6.5M, which is 230% growth compared to 2025, and we expect to achieve around €1.2M in EBITDA.

We’re building next chapters around smart operations, a digital‑first strategy, a scalable business model and a community‑driven brand. Right now, we’re receiving around 5 franchise applications per week, and our target is to open at least 6 franchise locations in 2026.

On the capital deployment side, we’re preparing a model for next year to ensure no new debt for building corporate stores, with expansion driven through AIFs and franchise partners.

It’s a good moment — one worth sharing. And as promised on 365weeks.com, the writing about challenges is coming too. But today, I’ll allow myself to enjoy the small win.
