Combined might = culinary delight
GDK Foods is the result of merging two Mediterranean food powerhouses: Grecian Delights (and the Opaa! brand) and Kronos. For Grecian Delight, it all started in 1974 by Chicago entrepreneur Peter Parthenis. His passion for food, innovation and vision brought the gyro sandwich from the Greek restaurants of Halsted Street in Chicago to the American consumer across the United States.
Today, GDK Foods has a global reach with customers:
In more than ten countries
Across 400 foodservice distributors
In more than 30,000 independent and national chains
In the top 40 retailers in the United States
So we only have one question: What can we do for YOU today?
