Mission Mars, which operates 42 venues across the UK, comprising four Albert’s Schloss and 36 Rudy’s Pizza Napoletanas, says there was strong growth across both brands between October 2025 and April 2026.
Half-year group revenue rose 12% to £63.9m, with Rudy’s contributing £35.1m (FY25 £29.m) and Albert’s Schloss contributing £26.4m (FY25 £25.3m).
On a like-for-like basis, Albert’s Schloss delivered growth of 4.2% in the period, around 9% ahead of the market segment according to the NIQ RSM Hospitality Business Tracker, and Rudy’s delivered growth of 3.3%, around 5% ahead of the market segment for the same period, it says.
Group adjusted EBITDA - adjusted for one-off site opening costs - for the period increased by 46% to £9.2m (FY25 H1 £6.3m), with almost half of the increase driven by the strong growth in Albert’s Schloss’ London site.
The group is on track to open six Rudy’s in the full financial year. Sites in Cambridge and Sutton Coldfield have recently opened with two further Rudy’s due to launch in the next eight weeks and a further two likely to come on board before the end of summer.
“Our financial results are very pleasing, but importantly, progress on all our key strategic initiatives have continued to accelerate,” says chief executive Roy Ellis.
“Our continued strong trading over a sustained period gives us confidence that both our brands are well set to deliver growth and are likely to trade successfully in all parts of the UK.”
