Buona
In 1981, married couple Joe and Peggy Buonavolantos founded Buona, a Chicago classic that serves Italian Beef, Chicago-style hot dogs and deep-dish pizza. It has 27 locations, 25 of which are restaurants and two are catering facilities. It has a revenue of $81 million per year. The privately-held company has locations in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and it is very much dedicated to veterans, offering quite good discounts. In addition, it has ventured into the health food sector.
