In the last episode for 2022, we welcome Thomas Douzis, founder and CEO of ERGON Foods, the company that managed to become the ambassador of Greek food abroad. The story of ERGON Foods begins in 2004, in Thessaloniki, when two young brothers, Thomas and George, influenced by their father's idea of distributing domestic products over foreign ones, envisioned the pioneering company that emerged in the following years as an ambassador of Greek food. The idea was particularly pioneering at that time as the trend of consuming foreign products prevailed. In the years that followed, ERGON Foods went through many difficulties and successes and today it now has 25 stores in 5 countries in Europe and the Middle East. What sets the company apart, among other things, is that it has managed to combine hospitality spaces with deli grocery stores and restaurants in a unique way, while also owning a unique multi-purpose venue in Thessaloniki. During the discussion, Thomas talks about his vision, the first steps of ERGON Foods, how an idea of two young people managed to become a milestone for Greek cuisine abroad today, as well as how they managed to become pioneers by combining catering with hotel hospitality for the first time.
