CoreLife Eatery Announces Major Expansion into North Carolina Markets

CoreLife Eatery has announced a slate of new openings in North Carolina.

According to a press release published by QSR , the fast-casual health-food franchise formalized a development agreement to open up to 23 locations throughout the Charlotte and Greensboro/Winston-Salem markets, with the first unit set to open this year.

The expansion effort will be led by a single franchisee, industry veteran Danny Grammenopoulos, who has developed more than 1,250 franchise units for multiple brands in both Canada and the U.S. over the past 25 years.

Grammenopoulos’s son George will serve as Vice President of Company Operations, and his daughter Marilyn will serve as Vice President of People and Culture.

“Danny Grammenpoulos has an impressive, longstanding record of success within the restaurant industry. During our first conversations, it quickly became apparent that he truly believes in CoreLife Eatery and its mission,” said Steve Corp, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development for CoreLife Eatery. “We’re thrilled to have Mr. Grammenopoulos, and George and Marilyn, helping us build one of the best and most promising brands in the country, and we’re confident they will do a fantastic job representing and developing CoreLife Eatery in the State of North Carolina.”
