Denik.cz writes that the alternative food marketplace Manifesto that took off last year in Prague goes into its new season with backing from the powerful financial group Rockaway. The new funds should allow the concept to expand from its origins in Prague 1, next to the Penta Real Estate site by the Masaryk train station. “One of the first steps for this year is the opening of a second Manifesto in Smichov which is now realistically taking shape,” said the company’s press spokeswoman Radka Ondráčková. In its breakout year in 2018, nearly half a million people visited the attractive outdoor food market, assembled from containers. A representative of Rockaway Dušan Zábrodksý said Manifesto could transform into a global brand. “We were mainly drawn by the vision of Manifesto, which has exceptional potential and brings a modern alternative to a traditionally offline business, which is the common denominator of all of our investments.”
