The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill Named One of Entrepreneur Magazine's Top New and Emerging Franchises For 2022

"This recognition is the result of our franchisees' continued commitment to serving great food with exceptional hospitality," said Bob Andersen, President of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. "It also shows the success of the heart-healthy, delicious Mediterranean diet, which more and more people are turning to. We also carved out a niche as a fine fast casual restaurant where your meal, prepared made-to-order, is served with real cutlery to your table by our team, elevating the dining experience."

Growth has been strong this year at The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.

"This growth shows how the brand is connecting with consumers," Andersen said. "Our vision is to eat and live life deliciously. It all comes back to simple, fresh ingredients prepared with love, and doing it every day."

This is the 43rd year that Entrepreneur magazine has ranked the top performing franchises for its annual Franchise 500® as part of its continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace. Featured companies were assessed across multiple data points including size and growth, costs and fees, training and support, financial strength and stability, and brand strength.

Liane Caruso, Entrepreneur magazine's Senior Vice President of Franchising, said the magazine's Top New and Emerging Franchises list "not only highlights some of the hottest companies in the franchise business, but underscores that creativity and innovation are alive and well in 2022."
