That tradition remains today with the same recipes passed down generation after generation and prepared with the spirit of authentic Mediterranean hospitality where everyone's welcome. As a member of The Great Greek Family, youll enjoy a fun, fast paced work environment in one of the fastest growing franchises in the United States.
