A healthy drive-thru chain that is growing rapidly across North Texas has Allen on its radar for a new location.
This will be the Collin County city’s first Salad and Go. The restaurant is set to open on the Custer/McDermott intersection at 2021 W McDermott Dr.
An estimated cost of $300,000 is attached to the incoming 780-square-foot building and as with other Salad and Go locations, it will be a new construction with a drive thru. Work on the space is set to begin in August 2022 and be completed in November.
Founded in 2013 by husband and wife team, Tony and Roushan Christofellis, the fast-growing brand out of Arizona has been opening locations across the DFW area at a pretty rapid pace. Outside of its home state, the Lone Star State is Salad and Go’s first point of expansion. There are currently locations in: Carrollton, Dallas, Fairview, Farmers Branch, Forth Worth, Plano, and Richardson – with many more are on the way.
Salad and Go offers fresh, made-to-order, health-conscious items including salads, wraps, soups and drinks for fairly low prices. Customers are given the option to customize their salads with protein such as chicken, tofu, and shrimp. Its menu also features breakfast items including $2.99 burritos and $1 organic cold brew.
There’s no dine-in at Salad and Go and the brand doesn’t yet offer delivery, but it is seeing success with its drive-thru only model. Guests can also pre-order on the Salad and Go website or through the brand’s app and pick up their order at a walk-up window.
Apart from its fast, healthy, and low-cost dining concept, the brand is also known for its charity donations. Locations donate fresh salads weekly to various organizations fighting homelessness and hunger throughout North Texas.
