Tampa Bay fast-casual favorite The Hungry Greek is bringing its pita game to downtown Dunedin, with a new outpost planned for 1425 Main Street, Unit A. The spot is slated to serve scratch-made gyros, bowls and Greek salads along the busy Main Street corridor in the coming months.
Founder calls it a hometown move
George Constantinou, one of the group's founders, told What Now that the Dunedin shop will be the chain’s 18th location and that he expects it to open "in a few months." "We don't think of ourselves as a franchise; we think of ourselves as a multi-unit mom-and-pop operation," Constantinou said, adding he was born and raised in the area.
Menu built on Greek classics
According to The Hungry Greek, the menu sticks to tried-and-true Mediterranean staples: gyro and grilled-chicken pitas, falafel, tabouli, Gyro Dinner and Chicken Souvlaki all make the cut. The chain also highlights customizable bowls and salads, and notes that many items are prepared from scratch in-house.
Main Street neighbors
The 1425 Main Street storefront block already hosts local spots such as Blue Sake Thai Sushi & Bar and Marco’s Pizza, putting The Hungry Greek in the middle of an already busy food strip. A Edina Realty listing for 1425 Main Street shows multiple suites at the address, so the new restaurant will be joining an existing cluster of small businesses rather than staking out a lonely corner.
What this means for Dunedin
Dunedin's dining scene has picked up steam in recent years, and projects such as the Tampa Bay Times-profiled Dunedin Mix food hall have helped concentrate foot traffic and draw fresh concepts downtown. That momentum has turned Main Street into prime real estate for both independents and regional chains looking for steady daytime crowds and visitor business.
When to expect it
There is no firm opening date yet, but the owners say the buildout should take a few months and that they will post updates as the Dunedin location moves toward opening. For hiring notices, detailed menu information and a future grand-opening date, keep an eye on The Hungry Greek.
