GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of Los Angeles dining history into everyday routines. Papa Cristo's grew from a Greek produce importing business founded by Sam Chrys in 1948 into a market, restaurant, taverna, and catering service run by three generations of his family. Located in the Byzantine-Latino Quarter across from Saint Sophia's, it became a neighborhood landmark and a favorite among local food lovers. This case honors the family story and the memories made around its tables.
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.
