Fruits & Roots and The Great Greek Expand to Southwest

The first local Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill debuted on the westside today, with the second of three local expansions already under construction, set to neighbor some well-known local names.

Headed close to the southwest's Blue Diamond Ranch Plaza, near the intersection of Decatur Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road, Fruits & Roots will debut its third Las Vegas outpost in a brand new building shared with a Capriotti’s sandwich shop and also The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill from Henderson.

The Great Greek debuted in 2010 on Warm Spring Road, attracting a following for its gyros, wraps and rice bowl selections. The restaurant is already promising a May debut as the 1,935-square-foot middle tenant.

Next door, Fruits & Roots will be be serving its brand of healthy choices, including organic cold pressed juices, "superfood smoothies" and "wellness bowls." Permits to begin construction on the 2,125-square-foot space were filed last month.

And a short walk away, Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill is creating a 2,915-square-foot, built-from-scratch restaurant that will include a covered patio. An opening date has yet to be revealed.
