Gregory's (legally Gregory's S.A.) is a Greek coffee and food service company founded in 1972, operating more than 360 stores in Greece, Cyprus, Germany, and Romania. The company expands its network through the franchise model and is one of the largest chains in the sector in the Greek market. In the European ranking, it holds the 12th place among the largest coffee chains. The product range of its stores includes coffee, beverages, pies, sandwiches, salads, sweets, and packaged foods.
The company was named after its founder, Grigoris Georgatos, who opened the first Gregory's store in Athens in 1972. The store sold traditional Greek pastries such as cheese pie (tyropita), sausage pie (loukanikopita), ham and cheese pie (zambonotyropita), as well as loukoumades and ice cream.
In the 1990s, Vlassis Georgatos took over the management of the company and led Gregory's into a period of rapid growth, setting franchising as a strategic priority.
