European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
SmashVille, a new burger chain launched by the entrepreneurs behind Poke House, is set to open 20 locations and create between 160 and 200 jobs, with an initial investment of €2 million.
The objective is to reach 20 shops by the end of 2026. According to the founders, “in the short term, we’re aiming to open 10 shops, with a medium-term target of 20.”
During the initial phase, all stores will be company-owned, although the founders are considering a franchising model for future expansion
