Initial developments include the expansion of the halal brand By Crousty in the Barcelona metropolitan area, specifically in Terrassa. Concurrently, Argentine company La Birra Bar is adopting a franchise model with a goal of reaching 15 locations by 2030, while Lisbon-based Street Smash Burgers has entered the Madrid market.

Following these developments, the Madrid-based burger chain Hype announced an expansion into Galicia, with a new smash burger location planned for the A Laxe Shopping Center in Vigo.
