καλώς ήρθατε (welcome) to the very first Simple Greek location in California! We are so excited to bring fresh, made-from-scratch, modern Mediterranean recipes to our community in Fullerton. We know that as a customer, you have a variety of quick service options to choose from but, how many of them will give you an authentic experience that makes you feel like family? As a family owned location, we want each person who walks into our doors to leave feeling like part of our family.

We are Vineet and Vandana, we have been married for 11 years and are both proud graduates of California State University Fullerton. Go Titans! Before opening up our location, we worked in software and social work but, we both knew that we could put our efforts into something else.  Something that would allow us to be more independent, allows for flexibility so we can spend time with our children and, also allows us to give back to the community that has been the center of our lives. We knew we were capable of doing more but we were doing the same thing every day and that was getting us the same results.

We were always intrigued by the hospitality industry because it brought us closer to people and service which is in our nature. A friend of ours had recommended the TV show ‘The Profit’ and from that, we were introduced to The Simple Greek. The concept and the episode stuck with us and we kept going back to it in many conversations with each other. The “People, Process, Product.” approach the franchise takes with the concept was much different than other options we looked into. We decided to open the first Simple Greek in California so we could bring this amazing Mediterranean style food to the west coast and get away from “the ordinary”.

Now that we are open, it feels great to call ourselves business owners who are not only innovating the QSR industry, but also creating job opportunities for students who can use the money to pay for their education. At the same time, it makes me feel proud that with this opportunity, we are able to mold some of these students in marketing, management and other areas of interests through the restaurant. We hope that you will visit us soon and allow us to introduce ourselves and our amazing staff to you and your family.
