History

The Goody’s – everest Group of Companies was created in 2011 as a result of the merger of Goody’s SA & everest SA, two dynamic well established companies with a great history in the Greek market. This merger has resulted in the creation of an undisputed leader in the Greek foodservice market, that capitalizes on the combined expertise of people and networks. Following the merger, the Group has engaged in an aggressive reorganization plan, that included the rebranding of major brands, Goody’s & Flocafe, as well as the renovation of the extensive everest network.
