Florida-based The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill nearly doubled its footprint in 2023, opening 21 restaurants and entering six states: Arizona, California, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon and Utah. It ended the year with 51 locations in 16 states.
The chain also reported a double-digit increase in systemwide sales year-over-year, driven in part by a rise in online transactions.
“We are thrilled with our brand performance in 2023,” Bob Andersen, president of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, said in a company press release. “Our passionate franchise owners and ongoing commitment to innovation are fueling our rapid development.”
The company plans to continue its expansion in 2024, with 40 locations slated to open and its first international restaurant planned for Toronto, Canada.
“The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill continues to break records each year,” Ray Titus, CEO of United Franchise Group, which owns the Great Greek brand, said in the release. “With a focus on quality ingredients and guest experience, the brand has captured the hearts of its loyal customer base.”
The company also offers to-go and digital kitchen formats to expand its reach.
