History

THE FIRST STORE IN ATHENS

The story of Cava Konstantakopoulos begins in 1976, when Xenofon Konstantakopoulos, in November of the same year, founded a small business selling drinks and soft drinks, based in the area of ​​Ano Petralona in Athens. More specifically at 151 Trion Ierarxon Street, one of the most central streets in the area even today, where it remained for about 10 years. The main activity of the company was the retail sale and distribution of beer and soft drinks.

THE NEXT GENERATION

In 1984, Ioannis Konstantakopoulos, son of Xenofon Konstantakopoulos, joined the company. The following years saw a series of changes, which signaled the company's shift towards wholesale as well as the growth of its clientele.
