“It All Started In A Rambling Kitchen” in 1938, when the original Peerless opened in Downtown Johnson City. In 1960 the company branched out into commercial property management & development offering both exclusive retail & professional spaces. After nearly a century of serving the finest food in East Tennessee, we celebrated our culinary craft by opening BURG’r & BARREL in 2022 in our hometown historic train depot offering unique indoor/outdoor dining scenes & full bars. In 2023, we acquired MIMI's ICE CREAM & DESSERTS, with 2 dessert trucks, serving outside at BURG'r & BARREL & at events throughout the area. In 2024, we acquired Capelli Bei Salon & Suites which provides professional salon services. Our Family personally welcomes you & we hope you enjoy our now 4th generation, Kalogeros Family Hospitality experience. - Gary J Kalogeros
