Mediterranean Meets Trendy Fast Casual
When it comes to fresh, flavorful food that checks all the boxes, MF Gyros & Burgers has quickly become a Sacramento staple.

For franchisees, the model’s broad appeal and efficient setup make it a mouthwatering investment opportunity that stands in a league of its own. The brand has recently secured a 24-unit development deal, marking not just a milestone, but the beginning of a brand destined for national greatness.
