Gregory's (Gregory's S.A.) is a Greek coffeehouse and foodservice company founded in 1972. It operates more than 360 stores in Greece, Cyprus, Germany, and Romania. Gregory's is one of the largest companies in its sector in Greece and ranks 12th among the largest coffeehouse chains in Europe.
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.
