The Yiros Shop’s Rapid Expansion from Small Business to Major Franchise

The Yiros Shop leveraged a Localsearch website to support their rapid expansion from a small business into a major franchise. Now rated as one of Brisbane’s top Greek restaurants, they have quickly become a go-to spot for local customers.

Who is The Yiros Shop?

The Yiros Shop is home to Brisbane’s most iconic and authentic Greek eats. In 2015, Nick Mitrossilis founded the first location in the renowned James Street, Fortitude Valley. The family-owned business set out to carry authentic recipes down through generations and create the best Greek food around. The Yiros Shop is now rated one of Brisbane’s top Greek restaurants, quickly becoming a go-to spot for local customers. Despite starting out as a small business, The Yiros Shop has now rapidly expanded into a major franchise across South East Queensland.

The Yiros Shop’s Challenges

Frustrated by an underperforming website from their previous provider, The Yiros Shop recognised the critical need to enhance their online visibility. Nick was eager to find a results-driven marketing solution to support the business’s plans for rapid growth. Their website needed to be equipped to manage the expansion to new locations, a growing customer base, and increased website traffic. The original website not only performed poorly but also would not have been able to handle the increase in overall business, making redevelopment imperative for their growth plans.

The Objective

The main goal was to optimise The Yiros Shop’s online visibility and attract more customers through a comprehensive website redevelopment. Nick was eager to solidify his business as the top choice for traditional Greek food in Brisbane and eventually wider Queensland.

How Localsearch Supported The Yiros Shop

Nick collaborated with Local Marketing Specialist, Jake, to discuss how Localsearch could best support The Yiros Shop. Together, they identified the underlying website issues and formulated a plan to address them. It was determined that a new, user-friendly website that ranks on the first page of Google would be the ideal solution to cater for rapid growth. To ensure the strategy was successful, the interactions between Localsearch and The Yiros Shop remained constant. The following steps were implemented:
