May 15, 2025 // Franchising.com // SAN JOSE, Calif. - Nick the Greek has proudly opened in Palo Alto, California. The brand’s newest restaurant in Palo Alto is locally owned and operated by multi-unit franchisees George Petrousas and Chris Parisis. 

“As a Greek American, I find it rewarding to share my culture widely and authentically and having tried countless restaurants trying to experience a taste of Greece—the only thing that comes close to honoring its vibrant street food culture is Nick the Greek,” said Petrousas. “After walking through the city of Palo Alto and seeing a lack of affordable Greek street food options, we wanted to bring Nick the Greek to the heart of Silicon Valley, offering local businesses and offices a flavorful fast casual option for lunch.”

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 Greek donuts.
