November 20, 2025
Entrepreneur Panos Marinopoulos, known in the Greek retail sector, passed away at the age of 74 due to anoxic encephalopathy. He was an integral part of the Marinopoulos family, which had a significant presence in the Greek market since 1893. Although he retired from active business before the group's collapse, he remained active in social and cultural activities. The family has been a major economic force for decades, and the group's fall in the mid-2010s marked the end of an era. His death adds another layer to the business history of modern Greece.
