To be able to keep up with demand, Leonidas had to expand its factory. Pralines were now also produced in the old Bel cheese factory in the Kommenstraat in Anderlecht. By then, Leonidas pralines were also sold in the United States and Asia.

Leonidas became the market leader and entrepreneurs came to Anderlecht from far and wide to get their load of pralines. The pralines were (and still are) made in line with Basilio’s values: freshness, quality, choice and affordability.
