The franchised bakery chain will pay A$2.6m (US$1.67m) for Burns Philp’s stake in Brumby’s. Burns Philp acquired the stake through its recent takeover of Australian food giant Goodman Fielder, reported the Courier-Mail.
Brumby’s, which has around 270 franchised bakery stores in Australia and New Zealand, announced in May that it planned to invest $60m in expanding its chain to almost 500 stores over the next five years.
