2) Please tell us how your business supports your community, and the State at large.

We’re a new business in town, and while we haven’t had the opportunity to give back just yet, we’re excited to become an active part of the community. As we grow, we plan to support local organizations, sponsor community events, and create a welcoming space for people to gather. We’re committed to providing great food, excellent service, and job opportunities for local residents. Our goal is to be more than just a restaurant- we want to be a place where the community comes together.

 

3) Please explain your vision for the future of the company.

Our vision for Nakis is to become a staple in the community - a go-to spot for great food drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. We aim to build strong relationships with our customers by consistently delivering high quality food in a laid back setting.

As we grow, we plan to expand our reach while staying true to our roots as a neighborhood gathering place. We also want to give back by supporting local events, sponsoring sports teams, and collaborating with other small businesses.

Long term, we envision Nakis Pizza & Bar as a thriving local favorite, known not just for our food but for our role in bringing the local community together.

 

4) Why should you be selected as the Primary Bank ‘Prime Time Business?

Nakis Pizza & Bar is more than just a restaurant – it’s the start of a new chapter in a long-standing family tradition of hospitality. As a small business with deep family roots in the restaurant industry, we’ve seen firsthand how a job can be more than a paycheck – it can be a stepping stone to something greater. Over the years, our families have employed countless members of the community, watching them grow into successful professionals. Now, as a young couple just starting out, we want to continue that legacy by offering opportunities, enriching lives, and creating a business that not only thrives but also gives back to the community in the same meaningful ways our families did before us, all while serving delicious food and drinks.

We’ve poured out hearts into making this dream become a reality. We serve great food and drinks in a welcoming atmosphere and bring people together to enjoy good company, share laughs, and create memories. Our goal is to make Nakis Pizza & Bar a true community gathering place. With the support of Primary Bank, we can take the next step in growing our business, expanding our reach, and ensuring Nakis becomes a staple in the community for generations to come!

 

5) How would winning this commercial campaign help support the future growth of your business?

Winning this commercial campaign would be a game-changer for Nakis Pizza & Bar. As a new business, visibility is everything, and a professionally produced commercial would help us reach a wider audience, introduce more people to our food, and establish us as a go-to spot in the community.

With increased awareness, we’d be able to grow our customer base, boost sales, and create more job opportunities. It would also allow us to reinvest in the business- improving operations, expanding our offerings, and giving back to the community.

This commercial wouldn’t just promote Nakis, it would help solidify our place in the town and set us up for long-term success.
