Sophia’s Greek Pantry began in Belmont, Massachusetts, in 2001 with a clear goal: to share Greek culture and food with the local community.
When customers in Lowell asked for a Greek store of their own, Valerie Georgoulopoulos opened a second location to meet that need.
“Our customers said, ‘Hey, there’s a Greek store up there... and we want to know if you can come and open up a store there,’ because the Greek community in Lowell really needs something, and we’d be a perfect fit.”
Sophia’s Greek Pantry North offers a wide selection of imported Greek products, including olives, feta cheese, and their signature sheep and goat’s milk yogurt.
Modern point of sale
When opening a new location, Valerie needed a modern point of sale with specialty grocery-specific features.
Advanced reporting
Valerie needed clear, reliable reports to help manage complex inventory and track sales.
Ease of use
Staff needed a system that was simple and reliable — something they could depend on day after day.
Valerie looked for a POS system that could manage a diverse range of imported goods, including feta cheese, olives, and yogurt made from sheep and goat dairy.
Valerie found Markt POS, scheduled a demo, and hasn't looked back.
The system is to use — both on the frontend, when working with customers, and on the backend, when using reporting features to manage her business.
The consistent updates and enhancements help Valerie keep her store modern and efficient.
