Nick the Greek Introduces Authentic Greek Street Food to Tyler, Texas

October 27, 2026 // Franchising.com // SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nick the Greek is now open in Tyler, marking its first location in East Texas and fifth in the state. The new location is locally owned and operated by experienced franchisees Ricky and Lindsey Holt. For more than a decade, Nick the Greek has proved that “The Best Things in Life are Greek” through a diverse and enticing menu of tasty pitas, bowls, salads, desserts and more — now available to Tyler locals and visitors at the brand’s newest Nick the Greek location.

“We decided to bring Nick the Greek to East Texas because we saw an opportunity to introduce our community to a brand known for fresh, flavorful food and a welcoming guest experience,” said Lindsey Holt. “Now that our doors are open, we look forward to making Nick the Greek a part of everyday life in Tyler, from quick lunches and family dinners to meals shared with friends.”

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 multigenerational 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. In meeting the high demand for Greek street food, Nick the Greek has carved out a sizeable and attractive niche in the ultra-competitive fast casual space — a marketplace differentiator that continues to underpin the brand’s rapid growth.

Since 2023, Nick the Greek has nearly doubled its store count and continues to accelerate expansion efforts throughout the nation. Today, guests can find Nick the Greek restaurants in eight states, including Arizona, California, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. By thoughtfully establishing locations in high-visibility downtown metro areas, Nick the Greek has reached large audiences and steadily developed a diverse and devoted fan base.
