Little Greek Fresh Grill, a fast-casual Greek restaurant with an American influence, will open a location this year in Boardman, according to Nick Vojnovic, Little Greek president.
“This will be our first location in Ohio,” said Vojnovic. “We hope to open by second quarter of 2017.” Representatives from the restaurant chain expect the eatery to be open in May.
The franchise owners are George and Pattie Campos. Little Greek Fresh Grill will be located at 220 Boardman-Canfield Road in Boardman.
“We’re thrilled to open in Boardman, a dynamic community,’” said George Campos. “We’re working hard to open as soon as we feel the quality is where it should be in our restaurant.”
The Tampa-based chain emphasizes fresh Greek dishes made from traditional family recipes, with its chicken items among the most popular. Signature items include a house-made Greek salad dressing, and Greek specialties like Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), Moussaka and Pastitsio. The Boardman location will offer dine-in, take-out and catering.
“With the Greek/Mediterranean segment exploding, Boardman is the perfect location for Little Greek,” Vojnovic added. “All the dishes are homemade.”
Technomic, a national restaurant research firm, named Little Greek Fresh Grill as one of “six franchises to watch” for 2016. Nation’s Restaurant News has named it a “breakout brand.”
Tampa-based Little Greek Fresh Grill currently has 31 locations in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Texas. For more information and location addresses, visit Little Greek Fresh Grill.
