Pizza Fan has returned to normal operations, with 107 of the chain’s 109 stores reopening their doors at midday on Wednesday (11 November).

Michalis Markoulakos, lawyer for the company and its owner, Konstantinos Antaras, announced that the company’s bank accounts had now been unfrozen, paving the way for the full restoration of the chain’s operations.

According to Markoulakos, the necessary technical preparations have been completed, including the creation of the technological bypass required to restart operations and the restoration of the company’s computer system.

Meanwhile, Viva, which processes the chain’s electronic payments, is ready to support transactions, while the efood platform is already back in operation.

Pizza Fan’s return also comes with a change that customers will notice immediately. The free complimentary item that had previously been included with orders is being discontinued as part of the chain’s relaunch.

The reopening of the stores follows the temporary freezing of the company’s bank accounts by the Authority for Combating Money Laundering, which had resulted in the suspension of its business activities.
