Croatia’s oldest and largest bakery chain has opened its second franchise outlet downunder in Australia.

Mlinar, which has over 200 bakeries in Croatia, around Europe, and in the Middle East, opened its second store in the Australian state of New South Wales.

The bakeries are branded and set out exactly the same as they are in Croatia but are run by franchise partners.
