The Simple Greek was founded in 2015 by Marcus Lemonis.
Saladworks parent WoWorks is growing once more with the addition of The Simple Greek, a 24-unit fast casual based in Ohio.
WoWorks formed in December after Center Lane Partners, LLC acquired Frutta Bowls and the bankrupt Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh. Saladworks leader Kelly Roddy, who joined the company in 2019, is serving as CEO of the now four-unit group.
The new holding company’s mission is to drive massive growth while serving “healthy, nutritious, and flavorful fuel.” That drove the purchase of The Simple Greek, as well as the earlier acquisition of Garbanzo and Frutta.
