“We’ve been serving the North Texas community through our Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and Mesquite locations, and are thrilled to have the opportunity to be opening our new Salata in West Plano,” says Ryan Nickel, franchise owner of DALSAL LLC in a statement. “I live close to Plano and know firsthand how supportive and welcoming the community is, and I am excited to make Salata even more convenient and accessible to the area.”
To celebrate its grand opening, the first guest in line on February 24th will receive a custom Salata swag kit featuring items such as a backpack, lunchbox, reusable straw keychain, water bottle and $25 gift card. Additionally, the first 100 guests in line will receive a free tee-shirt designed by local artist Alli K, displaying a custom Texas-themed Salata design on the front.
At the Flights and Bites station Salata will offer complimentary salad samples and a variety of organic teas and lemonades so guests can try some of the extensive offerings available at the salad kitchen.
To celebrate with a purpose, Salata’s West Plano location will donate 15% of all opening day sales to Minnie’s Food Pantry, a nonprofit organization who believes that overall wellness begins with healthy food and financial education. Their ultimate goal is to offer programs that help families gain long-term food security and break the generational curse of people, especially children, in low-income areas not having access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Additionally, Second Chance SPCA, Dog Training Elite North Texas, MADabolic Plano and Stretch Lab Plano will join Salata for the celebration on opening day. MADabolic Plano will host their own booth at the event with cornhole boards and fitness equipment for guests to try. They will also be giving away free classes and raffling off a one-month unlimited membership.
Other interactive festivities include a build-your-own succulent bar, available while supplies last to paying guests, and caricatures by Suzanne Morell Berry, the local artist and caricaturist behind SUZWORKS.
