Salad and Go is closing 41 locations in Texas, including all stores in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The chain, known for its salads and wraps, is reducing its presence in the state.
Salad and Go will close several Houston locations, with the last day of operation for affected employees set for September 19. A "handful" of restaurants will remain open in the Dallas area and Oklahoma, and some stores in Arizona and Las Vegas were retained earlier this year. CEO Mike Tattersfield said, "While this moment is difficult, we know the change will ultimately give us the foundation we need to grow stronger and make delicious, nutritious food accessible to all," according to CultureMap Houston.
Salad and Go is closing several locations in Texas amid rising costs and economic challenges affecting restaurants. The chain, founded in Phoenix in 2013, expanded quickly after moving its headquarters to Coppell, Texas, with new stores opening about once a week under former CEO Charlie Morrison, as reported by Chron. The closures affect customers in Houston and other Texas cities who will need to find other options for quick, healthy meals.
