Previous experience in entrepreneurship, starting in 2012, after a period of 10 years spent as an employee, spoke volumes when Victor decided to invest in opening a 5 to go location. "The advantages offered by the 5 to go franchise are significant: a well-developed business plan and strategy, belonging to a strong brand, training and advanced knowledge in the field, constant support from the marketing team for customer loyalty, but and the support one, from which you get support whenever you need it", Victor explains the arguments that convinced him.

Common values

Victor wanted to be a part of this franchise shortly after seeing the first locations open in the city. He perceived the new concept as young, beautiful and very suitable for his personal evolution. After a period of evaluating personal goals and resources, in 2020 he decided to take the plunge and apply for franchise entry.

"I felt the need for a change on a personal and business level, considering that together with 5 to go I can develop beautifully and harmoniously," he says.

The challenge of the beginning

The timing of the opening proved quite difficult, because it coincided with the first months of the Covid 19 pandemic, when nobody knew what was going to happen and everything was in doubt. However, he went ahead, determined to succeed in this new experience.

"The beginning was very busy, because I started during the pandemic, but with the support of Radu Savopol, Lucian Bădilă and the whole team, I felt like a family - appreciated and eager for evolution, which I have successful. I thank everyone along the way and I can say that they have been with me every time."

With a smile on his face

The opening of the cafe had a positive impact on the area, with residents in the vicinity welcoming the new location with joy. It's always nice to know you can find a 5 to go location right on your way.

"We try and I hope we manage to make their day more beautiful through our vibe and a good coffee," says Victor. "We have pleasant memories and interactions all the time, but I think the most important thing is making our customers leave with a smile on their face every day."
