# Apóla Greek Grill Partners with Cloud Kitchen

**TL;DR:** Apóla Greek Grill has partnered with Cloud Kitchens to open a new location in Anaheim, California. The partnership expands Apóla's reach in Orange County and allows the brand to test the market before potentially opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant.

## Story

Apóla today announced a partnership with Cloud Kitchens to open a location this November within its ghost kitchen in Anaheim.

“The bottom line is we want to get our delicious Greek food in more people’s hands, and this allows us to do that,” said Co-Founder Stefano Kosmides.

This partnership expands Apóla’s reach in Orange County, particularly in Anaheim. The city’s ghost kitchen location is a boon for food delivery with a bevy of commercial and business properties nearby while also serving surrounding neighborhoods and guests visiting Disneyland’s parks and resorts.

Apóla’s complete menu will be available for order online or at an in-person kiosk at the Cloud Kitchens location. Orders can be picked up or delivered through any third-party service.

“With the constant evolution of the food industry, this is something we felt we needed to test ourselves. By working with a ghost kitchen, we can build up our local clientele and then decide if we need to do a brick-and-mortar restaurant in the area,” Kosmides said.

The Greek brand’s first franchise location will open on or before Dec. 1 in the Galleria at Tyler Shopping Center in Riverside.
