What sets us apart is that PGNE is run by restaurant owners who understand the day-to-day challenges of the industry. We advocate for our members with firsthand knowledge, ensuring every partnership and program is built to support your success.

Mr. George Manolios, the late founder who first started Pan Gregorian, founded the organization in 1983. It started in New Jersey and later expanded into the greater New York City area, Long Island, Upstate New York and neighboring Connecticut. In June of 1990, approximately 15 members established Pan Gregorian of New England.

We were once considered the “Greek diner guys of New England”. This stereotype was partly true until we opened membership up to non-Greek-owned restaurants/deli’s, banquet halls, etc. Since that evolution, our membership has more than doubled adding more strength and negotiating power to our group!

Our organization is set up to help our members compete against the franchises and national chains, through negotiating, promoting, and educating our members about our programs. It is a simple concept, but also challenging in that all of our members’ businesses are not made up of the same cookie-cutter mold the franchises are.
