Description
Bonjour, one of the best known pastry and fast-food brands in Bucharest (Bucureşti region), is likely to disappear from the market after Eurica Services, the company that runs the Bonjour restaurants, began closure procedures, according to the Trade Registry.
For more than a month, two of the main Bonjour outlets in Bucharest were closed.
Bonjour restaurants employed more than 123 people, which are now to be made redundant. It is however possible that two of Bonjour locations will be handed over to other companies.
