History
[edit]Grigoris Georgatos opened the first Gregory's in 1972 in Athens, Greece. From 1990 onwards, his son Vlassis Georgatos gradually took over the business, with the strategic aim of expanding it through franchising.
In 2001, the company opened a store at the new Eleftherios Venizelos Airport in Athens, where it was the first ever Greek coffee shop brand that had a presence there.[citation needed] By the end of 2002, the company had 100 stores, rising to 200 in 2005.[citation needed] In 2006, the first five Gregory's stores were launched in Cyprus and Romania, bringing the total number of Gregory's stores in Europe to 250.[citation needed] In 2015 the company opened its first store in Germany and by 2016 there were a total of 300 Gregory's stores in Europe.[citation needed]
