A familiar face will lead the effort as Little Greek Restaurant tries to make gyros more mainstream in fast-casual dining.
Nick Vojnovic, the former president of Beef O’Brady’s’ parent company, has bought a majority stake in the small Little Greek restaurant chain. So far, it has three locations in Pinellas and Pasco counties and one in Texas and serves gyros, wraps, Greek salads in the fast-casual style, typified by Panera Bread.
Greek food may not be your everyday quick meal, but Vojnovic said he thinks there’s room for something Mediterranean amongst the burger and burrito chains. Already, a competing chain of Greek restaurants called Louis Pappas Market Café operates in the Tampa Bay area.
