## Story

Nick the Greek has proudly opened its 70th restaurant! The new location in Fair Oaks, California, is operated by experienced multi-unit franchisee Nicholas Taptelis, who has partnered with the brand since 2019 and operates six additional Nick the Greek locations in Northern California and Texas. The new Fair Oaks restaurant grows the brand’s presence in the greater Sacramento area.

“It’s an honor to open Nick the Greek’s location in Fair Oaks,” said Taptelis. “Our Fair Oaks restaurant will deliver high-quality and authentic Greek street food that leaves our guests coming back for more, and we look forward to being an active and involved part of the greater Sacramento community for many years to come.”

Established in 2014 by cousins Big Nick, Little Nick, and Baby Nick Tsigaris - all named after their grandfather per Greek tradition – Nick the Greek satisfies the desire for healthy, flavorful and authentic Greek cuisine in a fast casual environment without compromising quality. Drawing from two generations of restaurant entrepreneurship and countless visits to Greece, the street food-inspired menu boasts flavorful gyro meats cooked in-house on a traditional vertical rotisserie, charbroiled souvlaki skewers, zesty sauces, fresh vegetables and authentic Greek treats including baklava and loukoumades. In meeting the high demand for Greek street food, Nick the Greek has carved out a niche for itself in the ultra-competitive fast casual space.

The new Fair Oaks restaurant is located at 5355 Sunrise Blvd. The Fair Oaks Nick the Greek is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
