Premier Capital plc CEO and Chairman Melo Hili welcomed the opening of the company’s latest McDonald’s Greek outlet – a flagship restaurant at The Mall Athens.

“As McDonald’s marks 35 years in Greece, this flagship restaurant reflects the ambitions we have for the market and the connection we have built with Greek customers,” Mr Hilli said at a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony. 

“The investment at The Mall Athens, creating 60 new jobs, reinforces Premier Capital Hellas’ long-term commitment to growth in Greece.”

The new restaurant at The Mall Athens, one of the largest shopping and leisure centres in Greece, if the first McDonald’s in the country to feature signage in Greek. It is branded as ‘MAK’, the name many locals already use to refer to it.

McDonald’s has been operating in Greece since 1991, with Premier Capital becoming the developmental licensee in 2011. Since taking over the reins, the Maltese company has invested over €53 million to expand and modernise the network, growing from 18 restaurants to 33 locations nationwide.

Besides Malta and Greece, Premier Capital – which forms part of Hili Ventures – also holds the McDonald’s franchise for Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Romania.
