Titan Foods Is Reopening Soon in Astoria | Eater NY

"An Astoria staple that claimed to be “the largest retail Greek food and grocery store in North America,” I learned Titan Foods shuttered last year after the longtime building that housed it was sold; the owners promised to reopen elsewhere in the neighborhood and, as of this spring, a lease has been inked for a new location at Steinway Street and 23rd Road. The founder's daughter, Anatoli (Anna) Mastoras, told Eater the relocation is “a fresh start” with a “different setup and a different design.” No opening date has been set, and Reddit threads are tracking its return. The original home at 25-56 31st Street—where the family moved in 1996 into a 16,000-square-foot space—sold for $10.5 million in 2023, a sale that covered the storefront, its building, and the adjoining parking lot. While the storefront was closed, Titan Foods continued online sales. First opened in the 1970s by Kostas and Stavroula Mastoras, it specialized in a wide breadth of Greek products—at one point offering 20 varieties of feta cheese." - Emma Orlow
