April 08, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // SAN JOSE, Calif.— Nick the Greek is now open in Ontario, marking its first restaurant in San Bernardino County. The Ontario restaurant is owned and operated by franchisee Pete Patel, who also owns a location in San Dimas.

“Southern California has a strong appreciation for fresh, balanced and flavorful food, and Nick the Greek delivers just that with its array of gyros, bowls, salads and desserts,” said Patel. “We’re excited to bring our first Inland Empire location to Ontario and join the region’s vibrant food scene, offering an authentically Greek dining experience that reminds guests why ‘The Best Things in Life are Greek!’”

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 on two generations of restaurant entrepreneurship and countless visits to Greece, the street-food-inspired menu features 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.

Nick the Greek has restaurants in eight states, including Arizona, California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. The brand has reached large audiences and developed a diverse and devoted fan base.
