Tampa-based Little Greek Fresh Grill is making its biggest push yet into South Florida, signing a development agreement that could bring as many as 30 restaurants to Miami-Dade and Broward counties over the next decade.
If fully built out, the agreement would nearly double the company’s Florida footprint. Little Greek operates 35 locations in the state and 50 restaurants systemwide, and has said it is targeting 100 locations in Florida.
The expansion would give the Mediterranean fast-casual chain a larger presence in one of the state’s biggest restaurant markets. The company built its business in the Tampa Bay region and has operated in Florida for more than two decades.

Little Greek did not identify the development partner or disclose a timeline for opening the first locations.
The company has also expanded through sports and entertainment venues, recently reopening its location at Tropicana Field after rebuilding following Hurricane Milton and operating concession locations at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa.
Since launching franchising in 2011, Little Greek has grown to six states, with franchisees operating roughly 80% of its restaurants.
