Cea mai veche afacere de familie din România durează de 114 ani. Înființată acum 300 de ani în Imperiul Otoman • Newsweek România

The oldest family business in Romania, established over 300 years ago in the Ottoman Empire, has been operating in Slatina since 1912. Known as "Atletul albanez," it has survived through various historical challenges, including communism. The business specializes in traditional sweets like braga, halva, and baklava, using recipes passed down through generations. The name originated from a local circus event in 1912, where a family member won a wrestling match. Despite facing closures during the communist era, the business remained popular, even serving notable figures like Nicolae Ceaușescu. Today, it continues to thrive under the next generation, maintaining its heritage.
