Nick the Greek Opens in Indio, Bringing Authentic Greek Street Food to the Coachella Valley

Indio, Calif. — Nick the Greek (the fast-growing national chain known for its fresh, tasty Greek street food) has just opened its first store in Indio, making it the brand's first store in the Coachella Valley.

The restaurant (42250 Jackson St., Suite 108B) is locally owned and operated by Freeman and Kelly Swank and their son Tony, who have been in Indio for many years. They chose the concept after really liking Nick the Greek's food and how they ran their business, and seeing the strong local demand for authentic Greek food.

 

"We decided to open a Nick the Greek in Indio to meet local demand for Greek food," said Freeman Swank. "As residents for 15 years, we are proud to bring an authentic Greek street food experience to our neighbors and seasonal festival-goers."

 

Guests can expect the usual Greek fare, all made with quality ingredients: gyro meats cooked on the traditional vertical rotisserie, charbroiled souvlaki on the skewers, a range of customizable pitas and bowls, fresh salads, house sauces (which are zesty), and, of course, the desserts (baklava and Greek donuts). The emphasis is on bold flavors, without any compromise on speed or value, which has been a signature of the brand since it was launched in 2014 by the Tsigaris cousins Big Nick, Little Nick, and Baby Nick.

 

Indio is open daily from 10:30 AM to 10 PM and can be reached at (760) 262-4428. Full menu and more details are available at nickthegreek.com.

 "We decided to open a Nick the Greek in Indio to meet the demand from the local community for Greek food," said Freeman Swank. "Having lived in Indio for 15 years, we're very proud to be able to offer our neighbors and the festival goers an authentic Greek street food experience."

With this opening, Nick the Greek continues its rapid national expansion, now operating in eight states, including California.
