Pioneering Ghost Kitchens International Expands into Europe and more…
Ghost Kitchens International (GKI), led by founder George Kottas, has announced its international expansion with a rebranding initiative that includes the establishment of Ghost Kitchen EU (GK EU) in Athens, Greece and plans for Asia later this summer. This move marks a significant milestone for GKI, which has pioneered the ghost kitchen industry since its inception.
Headquartered in Athens, GK EU is set to debut with two new units in the city, overseen by CEO Demetrios Mallios. The expansion into Europe is bolstered by partnerships with country developers in The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, and other countries, signifying a robust growth strategy.
A new Partnership is being finalized that will expand GKI’s reach to Asia with headquarters in Taiwan. The new CEO for Asia will also be announced this summer.
Strategic Expansion Across the US and Canada
Building on the successful launch of the GKI Franchise Program, the company has seen rapid growth across the US and Canada. Over half of the designated markets have been sold with many franchise opportunities available. New locations opened in June in Dawsonville Georgia and Burlington Ontario Canada. Peachtree, Georgia; Rockford, Illinois; and Montreal, Quebec will open in July/August. Additional developments are underway in several cities across Arizona, California, Nevada, New York, and Texas.
Innovative Partnership with Walmart
In a groundbreaking collaboration, GKI has partnered with Walmart to open units in Walmart Superstores across the US and Canada. With each Walmart attracting millions of visitors annually, this partnership significantly enhances GKI’s reach and customer base. At the same time a partnership with Walmart Canada to innovate their freshly prepared food offerings, including Grab & Go, ready-to-eat, ready-to-heat, bakery items, and fresh pizza is in Pilot testing with a goal to roll out nationally.
