Crepe Runner opens its fourth outlet at Marine Drive, Kollupitiya
Colombo’s favorite crepe joint, Crepe Runner, joins the iconic Marine Drive food hub with the grand opening of its fourth outlet – the Crepe Runner Café. The café recently opened its doors to the public for dine-in, take away and delivery services.
The Crepe Runner Café is conveniently located at the heart of Kollupitiya and is easily accessible through Marine Drive. Customers can now enjoy a phenomenal view of the ocean and witness epic sunsets all while feasting on the delectable range of sweet and savory crepes Crepe Runner is famous for.
Crepe Runner’s story of success dates back to January 2019 with a simple food truck promising a revolutionary change to the food scene in Sri Lanka. They were the first-ever food truck to offer sweet and savory crepes in the streets of Colombo with a capacity to serve over 200 crepes a day. Due to overwhelming demand from their growing base of customers, Crepe Runner opened two more outlets; a café in Galle Road, Mount Lavinia and an outlet at the Food Court of Cool Planet, Maharagama. The newest café in Marine Drive is their second biggest outlet to open.
The new outlet will see several new additions to its menu alongside its signature range of sweet and savory crepes. By popular demand, Crepe Runner’s latest addition includes Loaded Fries topped off with either spicy meat or melted cheese.
Their range house beverages will now offer a variety of hot and cold coffees, coffee frappes and hot chocolate. All items at Crepe Runner are made to order and made to perfection with guaranteed consistency throughout all outlets.
‘We are thrilled to launch our fourth outlet and second café within a very short span of just two years since we started. The business has continued to grow bigger over the years and we are so grateful for our loyal customers and our hard-working team. We started Crepe Runner with a food truck running on the very same Marine Drive in Bambalapitiya and we are beyond excited to open our café on the same stretch to give our customers more of their favorite crepes’ says its Founder, Abdus Salaam.
Crepe Runner was recently awarded the merit award at SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2020 under the category of Small Medium Enterprises for the brand’s rapid growth and success in the market.

Sustainable economic development goals cannot be achieved unless attention is paid to mitigating climate change – Sagala Ratnayake
President’s Senior Adviser on National Security and Chief of Presidential Staff Sagala Ratnayake said sustainable economic development goals cannot be accomplished without taking steps to mitigate climate change.
He said this while participating in the 10,000 sapling planting program organized by the LEO Youth Vision 2048 Club and the LEO Club at the Royal College, Colombo on Thursday (23rd).
This program was organized in view of President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s birthday, which is today (24), and the required plants were distributed to the main schools of the Colombo District.

Thousands of police and military personnel had left the services recently as they did not want to carry out illegal orders, Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka told Parliament yesterday. According to the war-winning army commander 200 policemen have resigned during the past two months and 25,000 soldiers have left the army during the last two years.
“We urged the law enforcement and military officials not to follow illegal orders. We will reinstate them with back pay,” he said.
Fonseka also urged the President and the government MPs not to take people for fools.
“Sri Lanka owes 55 billion dollars to the world. Ranil’s plan is to borrow another seven billion during the next four years. So, in four years we will owe 62 billion to the world.
Ranil and his ministers ask us what the alternative to borrowing is. These are the people who destroyed the economy and society. They must leave. Then, we will find an alternative and develop the country,” he said, adding that the IMF loans had made crises in other nations worse.
“Ranil says that by 2025, we will have a budget surplus as in Japan, Germany and South Korea. These countries are economic power houses, and this comparison is ludicrous.”
