"The burger, and particularly the premium burger, market continues to grow

quality and responsibility, and by also offering vegetarian options. There is
demand everywhere in Finland for just this kind of a chain with a passion for
burgers", says Tommi Tervanen, CEO of the Kotipizza Group.

"It has been clear to us from the beginning that we want to build Social Burger
into the first nationwide premium burger chain in Finland. It has also become
clear that Kotipizza Group is exactly the right, strong partner for us. We share
the same passion and the same values based on corporate responsibility", says
