The new restaurant is located on Carrera 13 and Calle 86. It is open from Tuesday to Thursday from 12 am to 9 pm On Fridays and Saturdays it will be open until 10:00 pm And on Sundays and holidays until 6:00 pm It is a project promoted by the Fundación Acción Interna, led by the actress and activist Johana Bahamón, who for more than a decade has been working for the convicted and post-sentenced population of Colombia.

“The support of the private sector is essential for the inclusion and non-recidivism of people who have regained their freedom. Without a doubt, this alliance with Takami and Páramo Presenta generates important awareness so that more organizations want to contribute to the generation of employment for a population that has already paid for its mistakes and fulfilled its debt to society,” explained Johana Bahamón.

Precisely, Universal de Hamburguesas was created in alliance with the Takami Group, which has more than 20 brands in the country. Likewise, with Páramo Presenta, an entertainment company in Colombia, creator of the Cordillera and Estéreo Picnic festivals.

Santiago Arango, manager of Takami, assured that “this alliance is a commitment to help the initiative led by Johana Bahamón to provide second chances to the post-prison population. This is a symbol of reconciliation and punctual support for a foundation that does not rest in supporting this population.”

For his part, Santiago Vélez, commercial director of Páramo Presenta, added that “With Johana, whom I have known for a long time and deeply admire for her vocation, we were always looking for a way to link some of our projects and we finally achieved it. We hope that this is the beginning of many second opportunities that we can bring to our society.”
