About Grecian Delight Foods:

Founded in 1974 by Peter Parthenis, Sr. Motivated by his endless drive, entrepreneurial spirit, Hellenic roots, love of Greek food and passion for innovation, Parthenis was the first to manufacture and nationally market gyros. Since the very start, Grecian Delight and the Parthenis family have been dedicated to quality and sharing the very best authentic Greek & Mediterranean cuisine with restaurants and consumers. Grecian Delight is now a premier provider of authentic selections from gyros, global proteins, specialty breads, to tzatziki, hummus and spreads, falafel, plant-based proteins and more. All across America, people ask for Grecian Delight Foods by name.

About Kronos Foods Corp:

It all started in 1975 with a love for Gyros, the Greek culture and community. Chris Tomaras, a Chicago entrepreneur, rolled up his sleeves to make delicious Gyros and Mediterranean foods for restaurants. It was with his success and hard work that Kronos was born. Over the years, Kronos brought pre-formed, ready-to-broil gyros cones to market, rolled out portion-controlled gyros meats, and expanded into sauces, hummus, bakery items, and more. Followed by the introduction of KronoBROIL® technology, providing pre-cooked, ready-to-eat gyros slices without the need for special foodservice equipment. To this day, Kronos continues to explore bold new possibilities.
