Maldives
operation, a springboard to growth

Restaurateur Harpo Gooneratne announced plans to take
his popular Sri Lankan home-grown brand Harpos
Pizza to the neighbouring Maldive Islands, as
part of an ambitious plan to expand into the SAARC region.
Harpos Pizza is already one year old in
Sri Lankan market and enjoys a fast growing clientele,
comprising both Sri Lankans and expatriates.
A delighted Gooneratne said that he was proud to market
a Sri Lankan brand beyond the shores of this country.
The trial runs in fact proved very successful
with an excellent feedback all round. Potential in the
Maldives market is great. Since ours will be the only
crispy base authentic Italian pizza on the
island, we are confident of a very high demand and thus
good sales in the local market.
He added that his target market would be both resident
Maldivians and expatriate hotel guests in Male. The
operation will be initially run by three trained and
skilled Sri Lankans with high speed delivery bikes taking
Harpos Pizza, piping hot to customers around
the Male island. Full
