Basketball star Dennis Schröder plans to open a bio-döner food truck in his hometown of Braunschweig, Germany, in summer 2027, according to his own social media posts and local media reports.
Schröder, a 33-year-old world champion, teased the venture on Instagram with the words “Legendär” and “Das wird so verrückt,” confirming details to the Braunschweiger Zeitung. The business, named “Schröders Bio-Döner,” will operate as a mobile food truck, the newspaper reported.
In an Instagram video posted on November 8, 2026, Schröder showcased a small food trailer with the “Schröders Bio-Döner” logo. The vehicle is labeled with “100% Bio,” “Bio Fleisch,” and “nachhaltig” (sustainable), highlighting the project’s focus on organic and sustainable ingredients.
“In Braunschweig ab Juni, wenn ich zurück bin,” Schröder wrote in the post, translating to “In Braunschweig from June, when I’m back.” The Braunschweiger Zeitung reported that he plans for the food truck to operate at various locations in the city, starting in the summer of 2027.
This new food venture is not the first time Schröder has invested in business projects in his hometown. In May 2025, he opened a pop-up store for his fashion brand, “That’s Tuff,” in the Schlossarkades shopping center. The store offered clothing, perfume, and energy drinks, as reported by t-online.de.
Beyond his entrepreneurial activities, Schröder has a deep-rooted connection to Braunschweig’s basketball community. Since 2018, he has been a shareholder of the local professional club, the Basketball Löwen. In August 2026, Schröder told the OMR Podcast that he had invested nearly two million euros into the Bundesliga team.
Born in Braunschweig, Schröder began his professional basketball career in 2011 before moving to the NBA two years later. His commitment to the city remains strong. In August 2026, he stated his intention to return to Braunschweig as his primary residence following the conclusion of his NBA career.
Schröder has also expressed a desire to play for the Basketball Löwen again after his professional playing days are over. Braunschweig granted Schröder honorary citizenship in August 2026 for his athletic achievements and service to the city.
As of now, the full operational details for “Schröders Bio-Döner,” including specific locations, menus, and opening dates, have not been finalized. The project is expected to launch in the summer of 2027, pending Schröder’s return to Germany. Further updates are anticipated as the summer 2027 launch date approaches.
