In 1989, Charidimos "Harry” Sitaras founded Athena Foods in a small, Detroit-based facility off of Gratiot Avenue. Harry combined his entrepreneurial spirit with his family’s authentic, delicious recipes to offer Spinach Pie (Spanakopita), Pasitisio, Mousaka, Spinach Quiche, and Lasagna to the local restaurant industry. As the company grew, Harry brought his son, Jim, and daughter, Mary, on board to help meet growing demand. Five years later, the trio relocated to Southfield, at the corner of 9 Mile and Telegraph. They continued  producing tasty products of  the highest quality, eventually introducing Mostaccioli, Vegetable Lasagna, Meatloaf and Marinara Sauce. They also expanded their offerings to co-packing: producing private label dressings, sauces, soups, and entrees for restaurants and chains across Michigan! In 2014, Harry retired, passing the reigns to his son Jim, who proudly carries on his father’s legacy of fine ethnic cuisine. Today, Athena Foods is proud to serve their authentic, family recipes to customers across Metro-Detroit, Michigan, and the Midwest!
