Drive-thru salad chain Salad and Go is shutting down 41 locations across the U.S., including multiple stores in North Texas.
The Coppell-based company announced the closures this week, with CEO Mike Tattersfield confirming that all locations in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio will be closed, along with several in the Dallas Metro and Oklahoma.
The company did not provide details on which North Texas stores will be affected or when closures will take place. Local outlet WFAA has reached out for more specifics.
“This is a very difficult decision because it impacts team members who have shown extraordinary passion and commitment in serving our guests,” Tattersfield said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful for their contributions and the connections they built in their communities. 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.”
While the company is retreating from certain Texas cities, it plans to maintain all of its current stores in Phoenix, Tucson, and Las Vegas. Tattersfield explained that narrowing operations would allow Salad and Go to invest more in food quality, innovation, and building stronger community ties.
The restructuring comes just months after Tattersfield took over as CEO earlier this year. Before joining Salad and Go, he served nearly a decade as CEO of Krispy Kreme, where he helped lead the company’s expansion and brand growth.
Founded in Arizona, Salad and Go built its reputation on offering salads, wraps, and other healthy meals at affordable prices, often under $10. Prior to the announced closures, the chain operated more than 140 locations across Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada.
Despite the setbacks, Tattersfield emphasized that the company remains committed to the Texas market, particularly Dallas. “Concentrating our efforts will allow us to strengthen the brand and invest more in improving quality, driving innovation and building community,” he said.
For now, the exact list of closing stores and their closure dates has not been released, but the shakeup signals a major strategic shift as the brand consolidates in key markets and works to stay competitive in the fast-casual dining space.
