S pudbar has been a huge hit in Australia, and now the people behind healthy, fast-food outlet, are opening a second store in Northlands, Christchurch,   and are looking for more franchisees throughout New Zealand.Recognising that potatoes are the most popular vegetable in New Zealand, Spudbar are quietly confident their baked potatoes with a choice of over 30 hot or cold toppings, will fast become a favourite meal for Kiwis. 

“Founded in Melbourne in 2000, and borne out of frustration at the lack of healthy, tasty food that was quick, convenient and offered value for money, Spudbar is answering the call from customers demanding healthier fast food options. With the obesity epidemic a wide spread concern, a baked potato with a range of hot and cold toppings is the ideal way to consume five serves of veggies in one meal, or a fresh salad that is nutritious and tasty, yet filling.”

Spudbar at The Palms Christchurch opened last November.
