The Kamari Group has announced the acquisition of a 50% stake in the "Bread Station" bakery chain and the BREADCAFE coffee shop chain for NIS 23 million. The deal was finalized based on a valuation of NIS 23 million for both chains, which are owned by brothers Shashi and Eran Avital.
Under the partnership agreement, the Avital brothers will continue to serve as CEOs of the chains, overseeing daily operations and development. "Bread Station" currently operates 16 branches across Israel, with six more under construction. BREADCAFE has six branches. The partners aim to accelerate the chains' growth, targeting an expansion to approximately 50 branches nationwide.
Assaf Kamari, an owner of the Kamari Group, stated that the acquisition aligns with the group's retail expansion strategy. He believes in brands with clear identities and loyal customer bases, viewing these chains as a long-term value opportunity. Kamari highlighted that the combination of the Avital brothers' expertise and Kamari Group's business infrastructure will drive growth and the opening of new branches.
The Kamari Group specializes in establishing and managing franchise networks across Israel, operating over 130 convenience stores under various brands and holding franchises for more than 50 branches of other major chains. This acquisition follows a strategic collaboration agreement with "Super Sapir" group earlier in 2026, aimed at improving purchasing terms and profitability.
Kamari emphasized that the existing management will continue to handle professional aspects, and customer experience, pricing, and service levels will remain unchanged. The group is actively seeking new locations for expansion within Israel, with potential future international exploration to be considered later.
