- G&L was founded by George Baldas and Louie Coredas. These two Greek immigrants opened The G&L Sandwich Shop in downtown Muskegon on Western Avenue in 1926.
- The G&L Greek Chili Dog is the same today as it was in 1926. It sold for 5 cents.
- Charlie Peliotes purchased G&L from George and Louie in 1960. After 18 years of working with G&L, Charlie understood the Coney Island business like few every could.
- In 1965, G&L introduced the “Greek Special,” one of the very first combo meals.
