THE MISSION

Innovating the Slow Life

Who says you need to trek to a secluded Greek village to savor authentic local delicacies? Thomas and George Douzis aren’t just bringing Greek cuisine to Greek tables; they are on a quest to sprinkle the magic of Greece's culinary treasures right onto your plate, wherever you are.

This culinary journey began in Thessaloniki with a boutique hotel, where guests were treated to more than a mere stay; they embarked on a culinary adventure. The story evolved in Athens, with ERGON's second chapter introducing a grocery store, offering a handpicked selection of Greece's finest products to both locals and visitors.

Today, ERGON has expanded its roots across borders, boasting 23 locations, including both company-owned shops and franchises. From the dynamic streets of the UK to the sun-drenched corners of Cyprus, each ERGON store celebrates Greek culture. Their flagship, Ergon Agora, is more than a supermarket; it's a community nexus where the bakery's warm aroma, the butcher's expertise, and the fishmonger's fresh catch converge, leading to a restaurant that highlights the primal charm of cooking with fire.

In a fast-paced world, the Douzis brothers and ERGON remind us of the value in slowing down to savor a meal rich in tradition. It's a slice of the slow life, offered in an era that's always in motion.
