GLENDALE HEIGHTS, Ill. — It is hard to believe that Chicagoland got its
first taste of Kronos gyros 35 years ago when Kronos Foods, Inc. (www.KronosFoodsInc.com), the leading maker of premium gyros and other Mediterranean specialty food items, debuted in Chicago. Kronos introduced gyros to market in 1975 and has since made it a Chicago favorite. And, to celebrate its 35th anniversary, join Kronos and
participating retailers with the Year of the Gyros promotion (www.KronosYearOfTheGyros.com).
Starting Jan. 23 through Feb. 26, 2010, order a Kronos gyros at one of more than
100 participating Chicagoland area locations and receive an instant win game
card* for your chance to be one of 35 Grand Prize Winners to win a year of
gyros**.
“We want everyone throughout the Chicagoland area to help us celebrate our 35th
Anniversary by playing the Kronos Year of the Gyros game,” said Valerie Lester,
vice president of marketing of Kronos Foods. “Every time you buy Kronos gyros at
any of our participating restaurants, you will receive an instant win game card
with your chance to WIN. This is a way for Kronos to thank Chicagoans for
supporting our company, and the restaurants that sell our food for 35 years.”
A traditional gyros is made with selected beef and lamb meat seasoned with zesty
spices, thinly sliced and piled high onto a fluffy handmade flatbread pita. A
gyros sandwich is often topped with onions and tomatoes, as well as a flavorful,
creamy cucumber sauce called tzatziki or gyros sauce.
With more than 50 participating locations, visit http://www.KronosYearOfTheGyros.com

Additionally, hungry commuters and tourists can make a gyros stop along
Chicago’s tollways, at one of the four Kronos Gyros and Cafe restaurants:
- O’Hare
- Hinsdale
- Lake Forest
- Belvidere
