History of Brioche Dorée
Louis Le Duff opened the first Brioche Dorée in 1976. It was in Brest, France. He started it with about €1,500 of his own money.
He created the first "French-style" fast food place. This idea came from his trips to the United States. He wanted to offer quick, tasty French food.
The company grew bigger over time. In 1992, Brioche Dorée started to offer franchises. This means other people could open their own Brioche Dorée stores. They would follow the company's rules and use its name. This helped the chain expand even more.
