With regards to the current conditions prevailing in Sri Lanka especially for SMEs, Crepe Runner said: “It’s like doing business in a war zone with endless casualties and damages. It’s very tough and we understand that we are in a crisis.”

Crepe Runner is one of the popular upcoming restaurant chains in Colombo. Trending and brimming with youth who are inclined towards the brand. Its humble beginnings root from a small vibrant food truck which was stationed in Bambalapitiya – Marine Drive in the year 2019.

Crepe Runner enlightened the street food truck culture which was dying at Bambalapitiya, Marine Drive in early 2019. Ever since then, the Marine Drive stretch has been blossoming with many food ventures with trucks.
