The Coppell-based drive-thru salad chain operated more than 140 stores across Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada ahead of the announcement of the closures.
DALLAS — Drive-thru salad chain Salad and Go is closing 41 stores across the U.S., including some in North Texas.
Salad and Go CEO Mike Tattersfield said in a statement that the Coppell-based chain will close all locations in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, “along with a few in the Dallas Metro and Oklahoma.”
The specific locations set to close in North Texas and the timeline for their closure remain unclear. WFAA has reached out for additional information.
“This is a very difficult decision because it impacts team members who have shown extraordinary passion and commitment in serving our guests. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and the connections they built in their communities,” Tattersfield said in a statement. “Our presence in Texas will remain strong in Dallas. We are reducing our footprint in Houston, Austin and San Antonio to allow us to focus on strengthening the Dallas Metro Area and Oklahoma. We continue to believe in the Texas Market and its long-term potential.”
Salad and Go says it will also continue operating all existing stores in Phoenix, Tucson and Las Vegas.
“Concentrating our efforts will allow us to strengthen the brand and invest more in improving quality, driving innovation and building community,” Tattersfield added.
Tattersfield took over as Salad and Go’s CEO earlier this year after serving as Krispy Kreme’s CEO for nearly a decade.
Ahead of the announcement of the store closures, Salad and Go, which is known for its salads and wraps typically available for under $10, operated more than 140 stores across Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada.
