“Tiamo grupa” opens “Čili Pizza” in Riga residential area “Tiamo grupa” opens the eighth “Čili Pizza” in Riga – Market News

On December 9, “Tiamo grupa”, one of the largest hospitality companies in Latvia, opened the eighth pizzeria “Čili Pizza” in Riga. 250,000 euros have been invested in the new site and 40 new jobs are planned.

In total, the hospitality company has invested two million euros in opening pizzerias in Riga. Starting from 2020, “Tiamo grupa” has opened “Čili Pizza” pizzeria in the shopping and entertainment center “Akropole”, shopping mall “Origo”, shopping mall “Alfa”, shopping mall “Olimpia”, shopping mall “Gaiļezers” , “Zoom” shopping center and “Spice Home” shopping center, creating about 30-40 jobs in each location. The newest pizzeria has been opened in the shopping center built this year in Ziepniekkalns, 39 Valdeku Street, at the intersection of Valdeku and Graudu Streets, opposite the retail chain store “Lidl”. The area of ​​the new “Chili Pizza” is 305 square meters, and the total area of ​​the shopping center is 2,600 square meters.

“Opening a pizzeria in Ziepniekkalns is a strategic choice. We are following the demand – more and more people want places to eat right in the sleeping areas, closer to home. In addition, the pizzeria on Valdeku Street is located in a place with easy access by car or public transport, ”says Toms Zukulis, Chairman of the Board of Tiamo Group. “The latest research data show that pizza is a popular dish in Latvia – it is tasted by 91% of the population and only 1% have never tasted pizza. This year, the brand “Čili Pizza” celebrates 20 years in Latvia, and we believe in its viability. When considering the possibility of opening new catering places in Riga, we will continue to follow the market demand. ”

“The shopping center at 39 Valdeku Street will undoubtedly improve and revitalize the infrastructure of Ziepniekkalns. Of particular relevance during the Covid-19 restrictions is the fact that the mall’s layout provides for a completely separate entrance for all tenants from the outside. During the design process, the developer VPH Latvia foresaw possible changes in the activities of tenants during the pandemic and chose to implement such a concept, which is welcomed by both tenants and customers. We are glad that “Chili Pizza” has also become a tenant in the new shopping center. We sincerely hope that people will appreciate this addition to the infrastructure of Ziepniekkalns and will be able to spend time there happily and usefully, ”says Vyacheslav Novickis, Colliers International, building manager.
