Incident Report
| Attribute | Information |
|---|---|
| Target Organization | Gelarti |
| Threat Group | thegentlemen |
| Summary | gelarti.com.pe zoominfo.com/c/gelarti/459647742 Gelarti Peru’s leading gourmet ice-cream parlor chain — 39 shops & cafés in the country’s top malls — operating since 2013 through Franquicias Unidas del Perú S.A.C. (RUC 20548498181). The twist: Gelarti is the international alias of Colombia’s legendary Popsy (Danesi Cantagali Group, founded 1981 by UN-economist-turned-entrepreneur Álvaro Londoño and his wife Elena) — the Popsy name couldn’t be registered abroad, so exports run under Gelarti (“gelato + arte”): Panama since 2003 (with its own plant, now claims #1 there) and Peru since 2013 (a $20M/50-store plan with local flavors lúcuma & pisco sour). Menu: copas (~S/19.90), milkshakes, frapps, 1L family tubs, crepes, pastries and coffee — a gelateria-café format with delivery via Rappi and its own site (ratings 4.1–4.4). The group behind it runs the full vertical: plants, cold chain, B2B distribution (Tottus, Tambo) and 200+ Popsy stores in 46 Colombian cities (~12M ice creams/year). |
