Junior's Grill

[3] Junior's was founded by Wilbur Gold Jr. in 1948 as Pilgrim's and was originally located on North Avenue at Techwood Drive just south of campus.

[2][4] In 1958, the Georgia Board of Regents made plans to redevelop the property where Pilgrim's was located sometime in the future, and instead of accepting a year-to-year lease, Gold sold the business to James Klemis and John Chaknis, who changed the restaurant's name to Junior's Grill.

[2] Soon after, the Georgia Tech Foundation purchased the property in preparation for the possibility that Atlanta would be an Olympic Games host city and gave Junior's a five-year lease.

[1] In addition, there was a traditional hot line that served breakfast and lunch, as well as an assortment of grill items that could be ordered à la carte.

[5] Klemis Kitchen serves as a food pantry for students with dietary needs and financial concerns that limit their access to proper nourishment.
