The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill has a history of scrumptious food and a loyal customer base. The first location opened on May 5, 2011 in Henderson, Nevada. It was originally owned and operated by a culinary-trained Greek/Armenian family before being purchased by Nick Della Penna and Trent Jones, third generation restaurateurs with over 30 years’ experience in the hospitality industry. They made operational changes to the restaurant, enhancing the restaurant’s performance. And took it to a whole new level of success. Building on that success, they opened a second location on June 7, 2017 and since then have opened additional locations in Las Vegas and South Florida.

Consumers across the country are seeking delicious, new, healthy options when dining out. New research confirms Mediterranean food is the big winner with diners both when it comes to one-time trial and for eating frequently. Mediterranean food features big, bold flavors and healthy ingredients that make it delicious to enjoy. The American Heart Association, famous TV doctors, and chefs everywhere have promoted the Mediterranean diet – full of olive oil, whole grains, lean proteins, tomatoes, fresh vegetables and spices like cardamom, mint and sumac – as the most healthful way to eat. Add to that, the ease of dining at The Great Greek’s attractive fast-casual locations and you have a highly sought-after destination for diners. The popularity of our fresh, made-from-scratch food, the healthy options, the dining experience, and the industry recognition are all ingredients in our recipe for success.
