If you live in North Texas and wish there was an organic, ready-to-eat fast food restaurant option open near you, that wish is steadily being granted.
Salad and Go, a fast-growing brand out of Arizona that is out to change the fast food game, has been opening locations across the DFW area at a pretty rapid pace. There are currently Salad and Go’s in Carrollton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano and Richardson.
Four more locations are expected to open by February:
- Fairview – 351 Stacy Rd
- Farmers Branch – 13005 Josey Ln
- Watauga – 8448 Denton Hwy
- Fort Worth (its 3rd!) – 6900 Blue Mound Rd
And several more are being planned for later this year in the following cities: Cross Roads, Frisco, Grand Prairie, North Richland Hills and Rowlett. According to state project filings, the North Richland Hills Salad and Go will open at 8900 N Tarrant Pkwy, and the Grand Prairie location will open at 1045 W Warrior Dr.
What Now Dallas has reached out to the brand for confirmation of the above forthcoming locations.
Founded in 2013 by husband and wife team, Tony and Roushan Christofellis, the brand 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.
Salad and Go has multiple locations throughout Arizona, where it is headquartered. In 2021, the brand announced North Texas as its first point of expansion outside of its home state.
“At Salad and Go, we offer a value proposition with fresh, wholesome food from a drive-thru that you can’t find anywhere else,” CEO Joel Chrisman said at the time.
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.
“We are a purpose-driven company that not only serves food that is good for you, but also good for the community,” Chrisman said.
