Nick the Greek, the national chain known for authentic Greek street food, has opened its second location in Reno. This expansion follows a successful market debut in 2023 and is led by local restaurant industry veteran Bridger Johnson. Johnson holds the exclusive rights to develop the brand throughout Northern Nevada, and this latest opening marks a significant step in the company’s rapid national growth.
Authentic Mediterranean Flavors Arrive at New Nick the Greek Location
The new restaurant brings a high-quality Mediterranean experience to the northwest Reno community. The menu features a variety of pitas, bowls, salads, and desserts designed to satisfy the demand for convenient and healthy cuisine. Each item is prepared in a fast-casual environment that maintains the quality of traditional Greek cooking.
“In 2023, we brought Nick the Greek to Reno to satisfy the growing demand for convenient, reliable and truly delicious Mediterranean food, and after three successful years, I’m proud to open our second location in the city,” said Johnson. “Our menu offers something for everyone, and we can’t wait to share an authentic Greek experience with the northwest Reno community.”
The Rapid Growth of Nick the Greek Systemwide
Established in 2014 by three cousins – Big Nick, Little Nick, and Baby Nick Tsigaris – the brand draws on two generations of restaurant entrepreneurship. The street-food-inspired menu focuses on authenticity and flavor:
-
Traditional Rotisserie: Gyro meats are cooked in-house on a traditional vertical rotisserie.
-
Grilled Specialties: The menu includes charbroiled souvlaki skewers and zesty sauces.
-
Handcrafted Treats: Guests can enjoy authentic desserts such as baklava and Greek donuts.
Since 2021, Nick the Greek has nearly doubled its store count and is currently on track to reach 100 restaurants systemwide by mid-2026. The brand now operates in eight states, including Arizona, California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. By placing locations in high-visibility metro areas, the chain continues to develop a devoted fan base while seeking new franchise partners for further U.S. expansion.
The new Reno restaurant is located at 10310 N. McCarran Blvd., #400. It is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. To view the full menu, visit NickTheGreek.com.
