One video, and a million people found his restaurant
Sixteen years of barely hanging on. Then a stranger filmed it.
Greek's Grill, a family restaurant in Chandler, Arizona, had spent 16 years quietly struggling to stay open. Then a content creator named Robert Schrott walked in with a camera. Schrott makes videos about family-owned businesses, and after meeting the owner, Fred Najour, 72, he posted the restaurant's story on Instagram. It passed one million views almost immediately. Within days, customers were lining up out the door. The rush got big enough that Najour's son, Nathan, had to call in extra help. Even a family friend, Anthony Cyrus, showed up to wash dishes and run food to tables, taking on whatever needed doing. Schrott also launched a fundraiser, which has raised more than $18,000, with plans to surprise Najour once it hits its goal. "I just want to see him happy," Schrott said. "I just want to have him be able to not struggle anymore." The restaurant that nearly closed now has a problem it never expected: too many new faces to seat.
