FEBO (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈfeːboː]) is a chain ofDutch walk-upfast food restaurants of theautomat type. Founded in 1941 inAmsterdam, Netherlands, FEBO is most notable for this automatic format: a counter is available for purchasingFrench fries,beverages, andhamburgers. Other FEBO snacks can be bought from theautomats. The primary automat-vended items arekrokets,frikandellen,hamburgers,kaassoufflés and similar items.
According to the company, FEBO has almost 60 shops around the Netherlands, with 54 beingfranchises.[1] There are 22 shops inAmsterdam alone.
The FEBO´s mottoDe Lekkerste (Dutch,pronounced[dəˈlɛkərstə]) translates intoEnglish as "The Tastiest".
FEBO was opened as Maison FEBO by Johan de Borst (1919–2008), named afterFerdinand Bolstraat, and by 1960 it had grown into an automat restaurant, where homemade krokets and frikandellen were sold. When the bakery moved to Amstelveenseweg, the name FEBO was kept. From here, new branches were opened both in Amsterdam and further afield, such asPurmerend,Hoorn andHoofddorp.
Johan de Borst's son Hans took over the company in 1990, later followed by his grandson Dennis.[2] The founder died in May 2008.[3]
A new production centre was opened inAmsterdam-Noord, near theCoen Tunnel, where the snacks are produced and brought to stores immediately after production.
