He also worked in the restaurant business learning the trade.1968, a 17-year old Leo Stassinopoulos, immigrated to America from a little known village in Greece.Leo soon followed his brother Peter's path with very little and did not speak any English. Leo did have a strong determination to achieve a better life in America as many Greeks had in the past. He hoped and wished to obtain a piece of the American Dream he had heard so much about. At first, Leo took up a job in a meat factory and began to save up money to pursue his own goals. Later, he began to work in a local Coney Island establishment where he was able to learn the restaurant industry from the ground up. The next step was to team up with his older brother Peter and open a restaurant of his own.In 1972 the two brothers teamed up to open their first location the Southfield Souvlaki Coney Island in Southfield, MI. The brothers’ initial success was due to their hard work and personal touch to the Coney Island business.The family recipe for their famous Greek Salad dressing along with the chili and other great homemade items has been the backbone of success for the company. The Stassinopoulos brothers, Leo and Pete, were able to build up a reputation for quality food and service and followed up by opening their second location in 1979.By 1982, the Farmington Souvlaki Coney Island was opened and the brothers continued to build their strong reputation in the community.
