Texas: Salad and Go, a popular salad chain, will be closing 41 locations across the state. The Coppell-based company announced the decision on Tuesday, signaling significant changes in its operational strategy. This closure will affect all Salad and Go locations in Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as a few locations in Dallas and Oklahoma, although specific details regarding the Dallas-Fort Worth closures have not been disclosed.
CEO Mike Tattersfield, who took on the role in April and previously held the position of president and CEO of Krispy Kreme, characterized the closures as a challenging yet necessary move. He explained that the company’s focus is on strengthening its market presence and making nutritious food more accessible. Even with these closures, Salad and Go maintains a commitment to the Dallas market, believing in its long-term potential.
In light of the upcoming changes, the company expressed appreciation for the efforts and contributions of all affected team members, acknowledging the impact this transition will have on employees. Salad and Go aims to solidify its existing presence while emphasizing quality and innovation in its offerings.
Company Growth and Market Adjustments
Prior to these closures, Salad and Go operated over 140 locations across Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada. Menu offerings mainly consist of salads and wraps, with prices typically under $10. Despite the current closures, all existing locations in Phoenix, Tucson, and Las Vegas will continue to operate as usual.
Vision for Future Success
Tattersfield pointed out that concentrating the company’s efforts will allow Salad and Go to invest more heavily in driving innovation and building community relationships. The chain had been recognized as an “emerging salad industry disruptor” during its expansion phase in 2022. Initially, Salad and Go set an ambitious goal of reaching a total of 90 locations by the end of 2022 and planned to double that number by the close of 2023.
Conclusion
As the company navigates through this restructuring phase, Salad and Go aims to reallocate resources to enhance the quality of its offerings and reinforce its footing in the competitive healthy eating sector. The closures, while difficult for the company and its employees, are viewed as a strategic step toward ensuring long-term success within the remaining markets.
