Jimmy Grants

Jimmy Grants was a Greek-Australian souvlaki fast-food chain started in Australia by George Calombaris through his company Made Establishment Group.

[1][2][3][4] Whilst operating, the chain had multiple Melbourne locations including at Fitzroy, Emporium, Ormond, Richmond, and Ringwood.

[5][6] The name of the restaurant stems from migrant experiences of Greek-Australians being nicknamed 'Jimmy Grant' (like 'immigrant') when co-workers on the docks found their names difficult to pronounce.

[7] Its flagship store in Richmond was architected in a tribute to 'an Australian suburban home, as experienced through the eyes of a migrant'.

[8] In 2020 following financial trouble at Made, Jimmy Grants was disestablished, with its stores being absorbed by the Stalactites Group under its souvlaki brand 'Hella Good'.
