GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
A little shirt with a story rooted in Los Angeles family history. Papa Cristo's began in 1948 as C & K Importing, bringing Greek produce to the city before growing into a market, restaurant, taverna, and catering service. Three generations helped carry the family business forward in the Byzantine-Latino Quarter. This toddler tee celebrates that long-running neighborhood tradition and the Greek food culture remembered by generations of diners.
Papa Cristo's began in October 1948 in Los Angeles, California, as C & K Importing, an import and export business founded by Greek immigrant Sam Chrys to bring produce from Greece. In 1968, his son Chrys continued the business and opened a Greek restaurant alongside the importing operation. He traveled through many parts of Greece to learn more about Greek food and its regional specialties. The restaurant later became a taverna, which opened in the 1990s, serving food made with ingredients and products brought from Greece through the family business. In 1990, the restaurant added catering for Greater Los Angeles and Orange County. In 2010, Chrys Chrys's youngest daughter, Annie, joined management, marking the third generation of the family to run the business. The restaurant and market operated in Los Angeles's Byzantine-Latino Quarter, across from Saint Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church. The business received local recognition, including a 2011 Zagat award for Best Greek Restaurant in Los Angeles. Papa Cristo's permanently closed on May 4, 2025, after 77 years in business; the article attributes the closure to high rent.
