The hospitality dream
At Hellenika, a cultured ice creamery in Seattle, Alex, Connie, and Peter Apostolopoulos have created a space where culinary tradition meets modern hospitality. Inspired by their Greek heritage and a passion for authentic flavors, they’ve crafted a warm, family-oriented experience that reflects their commitment to both quality food and customer satisfaction.
“When you come here, you're walking into our house, and you're not going to go home without being happy because you would have tasted something really special,” says Alex.
This captures the essence of what makes Hellenika so unique—the Apostolopoulos family's dedication to offering something far beyond a simple meal.
SilverChef hospitality equipment funding
From the very start of their entrepreneurial journey, Alex, Connie, and Peter understood that managing cash flow was a priority. They were aware of the importance of balancing financial considerations with delivering a truly exceptional customer experience.
“As a new business, cash flow is super important,” says Alex. “We were able to utilize SilverChef to help us not only start our business but also be able to keep our cash flow.”
Like many other new businesses, the Apostolopoulos family faced the challenge of securing equipment and making it fit within their budget. However, with SilverChef’s flexible financing options, they were able to acquire high-quality kitchen equipment without straining their finances.
The ability to access essential equipment through affordable weekly payments has been instrumental in allowing Hellenika to grow without sacrificing quality.
What’s ahead
As Hellenika continues to grow and attract a loyal following in Seattle, the Apostolopoulos family is excited about the future.
“It became apparent that we could expand really quickly with SilverChef. A lot faster than we could on our own,” Alex explains.
With a strong foundation in place, they now have the tools to scale their business. Their vision can become more ambitious with the backing of SilverChef.
