Where it all began...

The Old Man

Chris Cranias opened the first Christo's in Detroit in 1971. Everybody called him The Old Man. The grandkids called him Papou. He brought the family to Orlando in 1979, and to Sanford in 1984. He is gone now. Two of his sons carry on the family legacy in his name.
