How Salad and Go Started
Salad and Go began in 2013 in Gilbert, Arizona. The people who started it asked a chef named Daniel Patino for help. He helped them create the idea for the restaurant. Chef Patino is still the main chef for the company today.
In March 2022, Charlie Morrison joined Salad and Go. He became the CEO, which is like the company's main boss. Since he joined, Salad and Go has grown a lot. They have opened many new restaurants.
New locations include big cities like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Las Vegas, and Oklahoma City. They also keep opening more stores in Arizona. By the end of 2023, Salad and Go planned to have 135 stores open. In 2024, the CEO said they want to open a new restaurant every week. He even talked about having thousands of locations one day!
How Salad and Go Works
Salad and Go gets its ingredients directly from farmers and suppliers. This helps them get fresh food. They try to get ingredients from local places when they can.
The company has two large kitchens. One is in Arizona and one is in Texas. These kitchens get fresh produce from farms. Then, they prepare the food. After that, they send it to all the Salad and Go stores. They plan to build another big kitchen in North Texas by 2025.
An average Salad and Go store is about 750 square feet. That's pretty small! This small size helps them build new stores quickly. It also helps keep costs low. These restaurants don't have things like freezers, boilers, or fryers. This makes it easier and faster to open new locations.
Every Salad and Go store has a drive-thru lane. They also have a special window for picking up orders. You can order at the drive-thru, online, or using their mobile app.
What's on the Menu?
Salad and Go uses fresh, natural ingredients. Their menu has eight different salads. Each salad comes with a special dressing made by the company. You can choose to add chicken, steak, or tofu to your salad.
Every salad can also be made into a wrap. The menu also has warm soups. Plus, they offer five different breakfast burrito options. You can also get these breakfast items in a bowl instead of a burrito.
Where to Find Salad and Go
Salad and Go has over 100 stores. They are located in four different states. You can find them in Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada.
Helping the Community
Salad and Go tries to help the communities where they have stores. They have programs like "Salad Donation" and "Guest Give." These programs raise money and work with customers. They help fight hunger and make sure people have enough food. They give meals to those who need them.
In 2022, Salad and Go started a program called "Healthy Habits." This program teaches young people about eating healthy and staying active. The "Healthy Habits" classes share information about good nutrition and exercise. They also let kids try healthy ingredients.
