A dozen popular American brands have expressed interest in doing business in Hungary. Representatives of Velvet Taco, Barberitos, Olive Garden, Pizza Inn, and others will visit Budapest on 16 September to meet potential partners and present their expansion plans, the US Embassy in Budapest announced.
