Pain Plaisir artisan bakery will open in November 2021 a new location in Bucharest with an area of ​​68 square meters within the J8 Office Park project, developed by Portland Trust, a transaction intermediated by the real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield Echinox.

Founded in 2013 by Irina Stăncescu and Tom Rees, Pain Plaisir is an artisan bakery that offers clients fresh bakery and pastry products, made with leaven and without food dyes, enhancers or preservatives. The company owns three stores in Bucharest, in Kiseleff, Floreasca and Enescu, it uses mostly local ingredients and raw materials and has created a community around their bakeries and the idea of ​​bread as the central element of the table, where the entire family gathers. Pain Plaisir will focus on opening stores which are “close to home”, for the moment only in Bucharest, because the artisan bread must be eaten fresh and bought almost daily, in the absence of preserving and raising agents. Pain Plaisir estimates a turnover of 2.5 million euros in 2021, resulted together with a team of over 60 employees.

Irina Stăncescu, Co-Founder Pain Plaisir: “The location of the new store fits perfectly into our development plans, through which we want to reach the residential neighborhoods that are closer to our customers. Due to the excellent location, J8 Office Park opens several areas of interest – Dămăroaia, Străulești, Bazilescu Park neighbourhoods and the road to Mogoșoaia.”

The J8 Office Park project, located in Bucureștii Noi (Jiului Street), will have two office buildings, totaling an area of ​​46,000 square meters, a structure type 2U+GF+7F, ready to be delivered in August 2021.
