What creperie jarnoux does

Bernard Jarnoux Crêpier (legal entity Crêperie Jarnoux, SIREN 380 927 335) is a privately held, family-owned Breton food manufacturer founded in 1982 by Bernard Jarnoux in Hénanbihen, Brittany, and now run by the founder's children. The company produces fresh buckwheat galettes, sweet crêpes, pancakes, and mini waffles from a manufacturing base in Lamballe-Armor (Côtes d'Armor), employing approximately 100 staff across production, packaging, quality, and maintenance. Its core technology is traditional Breton recipe execution, augmented by certified formulations including Bleu-Blanc-Coeur (Omega-3-enriched via linseed flour), Agri-Ethique (ethical sourcing), organic (Bio), and gluten-free variants, with recipes described as unchanged for decades.

The product portfolio is organized around three pillars: plain buckwheat galettes (the heritage SKU), sweet crêpes and pancakes (including the portable 'moelleuses' format), and a growing range of pre-filled ready-to-heat galette meals (forestière, complète, nordique, cocotte, montagnarde, bergère). The newest category extensions are mini waffles (2024) and Nordic-inspired fillings (2024). All products are positioned as made in France with Breton ingredients and target the retail self-service and pastry/cut aisles.

The business model is wholesale manufacturing into French grocery retail: products are sold through channel partners — primarily Carrefour, Leclerc, Intermarché, and Système U — reaching 1,500+ retail points across France. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company operates as a Société par Actions Simplifiée à Associé Unique with €225,000 of capital, with no institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity identified. End customers are French retail consumers seeking convenient, authentic Breton meals and snacks, while B2B customers are the retail chains themselves, including potential private-label production work. Marketing is conducted through the corporate website, recipe content, and social media (Facebook, Instagram).
