The local eatery made the announcement during a heartfelt thank-you post on Facebook, showing gratitude to those who had supported the business during their tenure either as a customer or staff member, past or present.
“We’d like to take the time to thank the city of Peterborough and the surrounding communities for providing us with 41 years of support,” according to the post. “We could not have done any of this without you, and words can’t describe how thankful we are for each and every one of you. We will always strive to give you our best efforts.”

The restaurant has remained in the same location during its 41-year tenure on the corner of Lansdowne Street and The Parkway.
Founded in April of 1980, owner Peter Bouzinelo opened the restaurant five years after arriving in Peterborough in 1975. He felt welcomed by the community and wanted to give back as much he could according to the post.
Bouzinelo’s brand of olive oil available at his restaurant came from his home village of Koutsi, Greece. He planted some of the trees 50 years ago that made the oil. Photo by David Tuan Bui.
