History

Crepe Runner was founded in Colombo in 2019 by Sri Lankan entrepreneurs Abdus Salaam, Abdus Samad, and Mohamed Suhail, with support from friends and family. ^[1] The chain currently operates 22 outlets in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, ^[2] with plans to expand into the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, South Africa, Australia, and Canada. ^[3]

It started as a food truck, offering sweet and savory crepes in Colombo. ^[4] Its success allowed the chain to expand its outlets, both locally and internationally, ^{[5] [6] [7]} with the Malé branch opening on 7 October 2022. ^{[8] [9]}

Products

The menu includes a variety of toppings and accompaniments such as in-house chocolate spread, loaded chips with spicy meat or melted cheese, and house beverages like milkshakes, mojitos, and hot chocolate. ^{[10] [11]} The outlets also serve Sri Lankan coffee to support local coffee-growing communities and their livelihoods. ^[1]
