Tampa Fast Food Chain EVOS Closes After Nearly Three Decades

Tampa fast food chain EVOS has officially closed its doors, marking the end of an era for a brand that redefined what “healthy fast food” could be. Known for its air baked fries, organic milkshakes, and eco-conscious approach, EVOS was a pioneer in combining clean eating with quick-service dining.

A Legacy of Health-Conscious Dining

Founded in 1994 by Dino Lambridis, Alkis Crassas, and Michael Jeffers, EVOS introduced healthier alternatives long before wellness dining became mainstream. The chain earned loyal fans with its organic ingredients, fair-trade philosophy, and its signature method of air-baking rather than deep frying. “What makes us different? Airbaking instead of deep frying!” the official website proudly declares—a motto that resonated with health-conscious customers.
