Čili is a restaurant chain in Lithuania and Latvia. It started as a pizza restaurant, but soon diversified into different areas.
History
[edit]In 1997, the first Čili Pica restaurant was opened on Konstitucijos Avenue in Vilnius, Lithuania. From 1999 onwards the company, renamed UAB Čilija, began to diversify, adding bistros in 2000, traditional Lithuanian-style restaurants in 2002, Chinese restaurants in 2003, coffee shops in 2004 and drive-ins in 2006.[2]
The first restaurant outside Vilnius was opened in Palanga.[3] The company soon expanded into other countries, opening its first non-Lithuanian restaurant in December 2001 in the Latvian city of Liepāja.[4] As of May 2009, there were 79 outlets in five countries, some of them established via franchising.[5] In 2009, the share capital of the holding was Lt 90.79 million (EUR 26.3 million). In 2009―2010, UAB "Vilsarmos investicija" bought 67.06% shares of "Čili Holdings", which managed the restaurant chain.[6] In 2024, the Lithuanian company UAB "Čili pica" employed 487 people.[7]
