French Revolution, the well-known Romanian confectionery brand focused exclusively on the artisanal production of éclairs, opened a new store in Timpuri Noi Square, the flagship real estate office complex of Vastint Romania.
The first laboratory for the artisanal production of éclairs was opened in December 2013, when the company started selling by taking orders and delivering products, generally to corporate clients. In April 2014, the first French Revolution location opened near the Romanian Athenaeum. Today, the Romanian brand operates six locations in Bucharest, one franchise in Ireland, a team of 90 employees, and recorded a turnover of 5,25 million euros in 2024.
French Revolution Timpuri Noi Square is the 6th store of the company in Bucharest.
“Finding a prime retail space in Bucharest is always a challenge for any restaurant or store operator, which is why we’re excited whenever we identify a location with strong potential, especially one that aligns with our strategy of opening near office hubs.
We hope the new space will become a key attraction for both employees working in the complex and visiting guests, offering not only delicious desserts and specialty coffee, but also a lively atmosphere ideal for socializing.
We’re extremely proud of the business we’ve built over the past 11 years and of the dedicated team that continues to grow year after year. Looking ahead, we have ambitious expansion plans for our brand, both in Romania and across Europe.”, said George Panaitescu, Co-Founder and Co-Owner French Revolution.
“We are happy to welcome in our community a famous Romanian brand such as French Revolution. We are thrilled that Timpuri Noi Square continues to draw esteemed partners, further solidifying its position as a significant urban regeneration project for the Timpuri Noi area in Bucharest. The new store will complement the present facilities, that include a fitness center, a beauty clinic, a bank, a convenience store, a restaurant and a food market. Also, the second phase of Timpuri Noi Square, currently in construction, will include retail spaces that have been thoughtfully designed to expand the existing mix of services and amenities already available in phase one of the project.”, said Sorin Macoveiu, Commercial Manager Vastint Romania.
