Taziki’s Releases Its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
Taziki’s Mediterranean Café has released its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, offering prospective franchisees an updated look at a growing Mediterranean restaurant franchise with nearly three decades of history, a proven fast-casual model and continued investment in the future of the brand.
The new FDD contains detailed information about the Taziki’s franchise opportunity, including the investment range, franchise fees, training, operational support, restaurant performance and system growth. For qualified candidates evaluating restaurant franchise opportunities, it provides an important next step in understanding both the business and the people behind it.
While the full story is best explored through the FDD and conversations with our franchise development team, several highlights stand out.
A Mediterranean franchise with meaningful scale
Taziki’s ended its 2025 fiscal year with 108 restaurants, up from 100 at the end of the previous year.
That growth reflects something we believe matters to prospective franchisees: continued confidence in the brand and its place within the fast-casual restaurant industry.
Taziki’s has grown from a single neighborhood restaurant founded in 1998 into a multi-state system serving fresh, Mediterranean-inspired meals in communities across the country. Yet even as the brand has expanded, the purpose behind it has remained personal.
We want Taziki’s restaurants to feel like places where people are known, food is prepared with care and franchise partners are building something meaningful in their communities.
Strong average annual restaurant sales
For serious restaurant investors, unit-level economics are an important part of the evaluation process.
Item 19 of the 2026 Taziki’s FDD presents financial performance information for 96 reporting restaurants (open for more than one year). The disclosed results include:
Average Annual Net Sales of approximately $1.88 million for franchised restaurants
Average Annual Net Sales of approximately $2.21 million for affiliate-operated restaurants
Average Annual Net Sales of approximately $2.16 million for restaurants operating in multi-unit markets
These historical figures provide prospective franchisees with a meaningful view of restaurant performance across a large portion of the Taziki’s system.
Just as importantly, Taziki’s is built around more than a single daypart or ordering channel. Restaurants are designed to serve guests through dine-in, takeout, digital ordering, catering and, where appropriate, additional off-premise opportunities.
That flexibility helps Taziki’s meet guests where they are while giving operators multiple ways to build relationships and generate sales within their local markets.
A model built with multi-unit growth in mind
Taziki’s continues to seek experienced operators and business leaders interested in developing multiple restaurants over time.
The 2026 FDD reports that restaurants located within multi-unit markets generated average annual sales of more than $2.16 million during the reporting period.
For Taziki’s, multi-unit development is not simply about opening restaurants quickly. It is about finding the right partners, selecting strong real estate, developing capable restaurant leaders and building a healthy operating foundation that can support long-term growth.
Investing in the next chapter of the brand
Taziki’s is also strengthening its leadership team as the brand prepares for its next stage of growth.
In January 2026, Patricia (Patty) Trevino joined Taziki’s as Chief Marketing Officer. Trevino brings senior restaurant marketing and brand leadership experience from organizations including Denny’s, Red Lobster and CKE Restaurants.
Her addition represents an important investment in brand awareness, guest engagement and the systems that support local restaurant growth.
Joining Trevino on Taziki’s Executive Leadership Team is new COO John Ishmael. Bringing 30+ years of experience from Papa John’s, Ishmael provides operational leadership in an important transition period of Taziki’s history, as Taziki’s transitions to a more sophisticated brand with an increased emphasis on profitability.
A restaurant brand with both systems and soul
Restaurant franchising requires discipline. Operators need reliable training, proven systems, technology, financial visibility and clear operating standards.
But systems alone do not create a brand people love.
Taziki’s was built around the belief that food can bring people together. That remains visible in the way our teams serve guests, support local communities and create restaurants that feel welcoming rather than transactional.
That combination—operational structure supported by a genuine sense of hospitality—is central to what makes Taziki’s different within the Mediterranean fast-casual category.

The FDD is only one part of evaluating a franchise opportunity. Prospective franchisees should also get to know the leadership team, speak with existing franchisees, understand the operating model and carefully evaluate whether the opportunity fits their experience, goals and market.
