Kronos Foods
Glendale Heights, IL

Kronos Foods, Inc. was founded in 1975 by Chris Tomaras, a Chicago entrepreneur.
Gyros was in its infancy and was served only in a handful of restaurants. Various chefs made
gyros, each offering their own quality and taste. It was then that Kronos developed and
successfully marketed the first Gyros cones—pre-formed and ready to use. This eliminated the
inconsistency with individual chefs making the product. And the standardized Gyros cones led
the way to the success and popularity of the Kronos Gyros sandwich. This proved to be the
foundation of Kronos Foods, Inc.
Quickly following the Gyros cone, Kronos introduced a complete line of portion
controlled Gyros meats; pre-cooked Gyros slices, uncooked Gyros strips and Gyros loaves. We
further expanded our operations by manufacturing Pita Bread and acquiring a dairy operation
to manufacture Tzatziki Sauce and White Satin.
Over the years we have expanded our product portfolio by manufacturing spanakopita
and tyropita, acquiring Rain Creek Baking Company with dessert and fillo capabilities, adding
new bakery lines, state-of-the-art equipment, in-line freezer and grill press to increase
capabilities.
Today we operate in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Glendale Heights, IL.
Since our move we have furthered our dairy capabilities by becoming a certified Grade A
dairy with in-house hummus production as well as in-house Greek yogurt production. We have
established Kronos as the nation’s largest food service manufacturer of Mediterranean food.
From the beginning, we have understood the potential of Mediterranean foods. When
we established Kronos Foods, Inc. in 1975, we did so with the philosophy to deliver all things
Mediterranean to the food industry with unsurpassed, consistent quality within all our
products and services.
The incredible success of Kronos Foods, Inc. is due in part to the company’s unique
philosophy. We want our customers to succeed. We create customers for our customers. To
that end, Kronos Foods provides a full complement of merchandising support and operational
assistance.
