About Jimmy The Greek 
After immigrating to Canada from Greece, husband and wife, Dimitrios 'Jimmy' Antonopoulos and Helen Antonopoulos, opened their first fine-dining restaurant, Epikourion, in 1977. Upon noticing an opportunity to serve freshly prepared, home-cooked meal options for consumers on-the-go, the first quick-service Jimmy The Greek restaurant opened in 1985 to offer the same high quality menu options and Greek hospitality with the convenience of take-out. Today, at more than 55 restaurants across Canada, Jimmy The Greek uses its original family recipes so customers can rely on quick and delicious meals.
