Chef Henri Alen says that he has sold his share in the Muru group. In his Instagram post, Alén described it as the biggest thing in his professional career.
– What feelings? Anyone who has sold something that is a big part of their professional identity knows that. Wistful but relieved, Alén wrote.
With the sale, Alén is no longer involved in the business of Ravintola Muru, Pastis, Fiasco? and VillaLilla, which are part of the group. Alén will also be left out of Muru’s wine imports.
Alén says that he acquired a colleague in the store Timo Linnamäki together with the shares of Finnjäveli, Muru-Baby and Prego, which were part of the Muru group.
– All of us owners agreed that the road had been completed and the restaurants were so wonderful that everyone deserves the best possible people to run them, Alén reasoned.
