Martin Stokkan in Trondheim has more than doubled his customer numbers since he converted his restaurant into a Pincho Nation. With 10,000 customers per month, his restaurant is one of the most popular in the entire chain.

“It’s absolutely fantastic; we’ve never experienced anything like this before. And that’s saying something, because we’ve seen a lot and success is nothing new to us. I was convinced from the start that the Pincho Nation concept would appeal to people here in Trondheim, but I still didn’t expect such an enormous turnout and interest,” says Martin Michaelsen Stokkan.
