Basilic & Co, known for its pizzas made from local ingredients, has recently expanded its presence with the opening of a new restaurant in Saint-Cyr-l’École. This venture, driven by local entrepreneur David Goncalves, brings fresh dining options to the area.
Goncalves, who previously worked as a taxi artisan, has made the bold decision to enter the pizza business after diverse career experiences. "I chose Saint-Cyr-l’École for its dynamism and intelligent growth: it is a city undergoing demographic, economic, and urban expansion, offering an attractive and conducive environment for sustainable ventures like Basilic & Co," he explained.
The new restaurant, located at 30 rue Gabriel Péri, features 28 seats and employs a team of seven dedicated individuals. With homemade dough and ingredients sourced from local producers, Basilic & Co promises a unique culinary experience. Goncalves highlighted, "At Saint-Cyr-l’École, we offer the first quality pizza option, where alternatives frequently lean toward kebabs or less qualitative solutions." The offerings include not only pizzas but also salads, focaccias, and pizzettes, catering to local tastes.
Meanwhile, excitement is also brewing at the renovated Basilic & Co location in Tours. Since October 23, the restaurant has welcomed back customers after significant reinventions aimed at modernizing the dining experience. After five years of successful operation, franchised owner Aurélien Hoyau felt it was time to refresh the establishment and adapt to the brand’s evolution.
This strategic transformation incorporates elegant design and thoughtful arrangements focused on comfort and generosity, yielding impressive results: there has been a 22% increase in on-site consumption, reflecting positively on customer engagement.
Hoyau shared his enthusiasm for the renovation, stating, "The result is stunning: we have delivered a version of the restaurant that's even more qualitative and cozy, and it was completed rapidly!" The restaurant has embraced materials sourced sustainably, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.
These changes affirm Basilic & Co’s commitment to meeting customer demands without losing sight of the brand’s core values. The statistics speak volumes: on-site consumption has risen by 11.46%, the average bill has increased by 8.16%, and daily revenue has seen growth of 10.64% since the renovation. This strategic approach solidifies Basilic & Co's status as a leading provider of quality fast dining.
For those inspired by the success of Basilic & Co, franchise opportunities remain open, inviting aspiring restaurateurs to join this thriving brand.
