Jamie Oliver Kitchen to open in Berlin as part of new franchise deal

The restaurant group, which operates sites across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and South America, has joined forces with BMB Gruppe for what is its 14th franchise partner.
Established in 2003, BMB Gruppe has more than 30 hospitality venues in Berlin across a range of concepts. It is planning to launch a Jamie Oliver Kitchen as its first franchise site in Berlin in summer 2023.

“We are really excited to have Mirko, Timo, Boris and their team join us. They are the perfect fit for our first partner in Germany and already feel like part of the family,” says Ed Loftus, restaurant group director at JOR.

“I look forward to rolling out our Jamie Oliver Restaurant brands across the Berlin and Brandenberg region with them, with the first location being the Jamie Oliver Kitchen concept. The future is looking bright for further growth across Europe, too.”

JOR has a portfolio of eight franchised formats - Jamie Oliver Kitchen, Jamie’s Italian, Jamie Oliver’s Pizzeria, Jamie’s Deli, Chequer Lane, Jamie Oliver’s Diner, Barbecoa and the Jamie Oliver Cookery School and BMB Grubbe intends to explore the full range of concepts in the coming years.

“We’re really excited to be partnering with Jamie Oliver Restaurants,” says Mirko Nikolitsch, managing director at BMB Gruppe.

“There is a fantastic fit between our two businesses — we have a shared ethos of offering amazing quality restaurant services. We are so excited to launch a Jamie Oliver Kitchen this year, it will be a great addition to Berlin’s restaurant scene and just the start of where we see ourselves going with Jamie Oliver Restaurants.”
