The name “Atlantis Kitchens” might seem unusual for a kitchen cabinet company, but it has a thoughtful origin.
In the late 1980s, when the Yellow Pages were a key marketing tool, a name starting with “A” ensured top placement, giving the business a competitive edge.
Founder Jimmy Gavalas, a Greek-American and son of immigrants, drew inspiration from his heritage. Atlantis holds significance in Greek culture as a legendary island mentioned in ancient Greek texts by the philosopher Plato. For Greeks today, Atlantis remains a cultural touchstone, often tied to discussions of their ancient heritage.
Blending a marketing strategy with a nod to his Greek roots, Jimmy named the company Atlantis Kitchens.
