Cornet Vincent Ségurel assists the founder of Roadside in the sale of his group to two buyers

Luc Laurent, founder of the Roadside group and creator of the franchise concept of the same name, has decided to sell control of ROADRUNNER to a company headed by Nicolas Boyer and Vincent Bobet. The new managers are supported in this operation by Picardie Investissement and also benefit from the minority reinvestment of the seller, Luc Laurent, in this entrepreneurial adventure.

Founded in 2014, Roadside is a chain of burger restaurants based in Rennes, France. Since its creation, the chain has been able to expand its footprint across Brittany and the Greater West, under the impetus of its founder. The group now has 11 establishments between Brest and Challans (2 branches and 9 franchises in the Greater West), with sales of over €10 million in 2023.

This transaction marks a new starting point for Roadside, with a clear vision of development and expansion beyond Western France.
