Little Greek Fresh Grill is open in eastern Wesley Chapel, at 33787 Wesley Chapel Blvd. in the Shops at New River.
The shop sits at Wesley Chapel Boulevard and New River Road, just west of Morris Bridge Road. The Wesley Chapel Loop calls it the chain’s first Wesley Chapel location. Until this opening, the closest Little Greek was in New Tampa.
A Tampa Chain, Now on the East Side
Little Greek started in Tampa in 2004. The Loop reports that it has grown from a local favorite into a chain with more than 60 locations across seven states.
The menu there includes wraps, rice bowls, salads and souvlaki. For the east side of Wesley Chapel, that is another lunch and dinner option that does not require a trip over to New Tampa.
An earlier account had a smaller map. Neighborhood News Online described Little Greek as a Tampa Bay-area mini-chain with seven locations, including one on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in New Tampa and one on U.S. Highway 41/Land O’Lakes Boulevard in Land O’Lakes.
From a Signed Lease to an Open Door
That same Neighborhood News report said Little Greek was among the tenants with signed leases at Phase II of the Shops of New River, a new 7,000-square-foot plaza. The square footage belongs to the plaza, not to a single restaurant.
Before the opening, WhatNow still had Little Greek listed as planned for the Shops at New River, and said an opening date had not yet been announced. The later local report is the one that puts the restaurant open. No exact opening date appears in that coverage.
The Plaza Still Filling In
Little Greek is not the only name attached to the corner. The Wesley Chapel Loop also listed Bubbakoo’s Burritos and Wesley Chapel Dental Care as planned tenants, and treated the plaza as another sign of continued investment in eastern Wesley Chapel.
Those neighbors were described as coming, not as already open. The confirmed arrival is the Greek grill at 33787 Wesley Chapel Blvd., the chain’s first stop in Wesley Chapel after years of sending local customers to New Tampa.
