Buy an Autogrill Franchise

Autogrill, founded in 1947 in Italy, is a global leader in food and beverage services primarily targeting travelers. Originating from a small roadside stand on the Milan-Novara motorway, it grew rapidly by merging Italian restaurant groups Motta, Pavesi, and Alemagna under the Autogrill brand in 1977. The company pioneered the motorway service area concept with innovative bridge-restaurant designs and expanded into urban centers with brands like Ciao and Spizzico. Privatized in 1995 and controlled by the Benetton family’s Edizione Holding, Autogrill went public in 1997 and embarked on aggressive international expansion, acquiring operations across Europe and entering North America through its HMSHost subsidiary. Today, Autogrill operates in 31 countries with a portfolio of around 300 brands, serving over 900 million travelers annually, particularly in airports and highway service areas.
