Spanish gourmet cheesecake chain expansion

Overview

A Barcelona‑based gourmet cheesecake brand, founded in 2025 by a Brazilian couple, celebrated its first anniversary in July 2026 with almost twenty retail locations across three Spanish cities. The rapid growth was driven by a centrally managed kitchen, a royalty‑free franchise model and tight logistics, allowing consistent product quality and low prices.

By early August, the brand was highlighted as a leading example of a broader cheesecake boom in Spain, spurred by International Cheesecake Day and the popularity of Basque‑style cheesecake. The company continued to pursue a national rollout, reactivating its franchise network and exploring wholesale channels, while the market trend reinforced its niche position in the country’s food sector.
