Mixt, the San Francisco-born fast-casual salad chain, is gearing up to plant roots in Walnut Creek in July, bringing its seasonal salads, warm bowls and build-your-own creations to South California Boulevard. The new outpost is expected to give downtown shoppers and office workers another quick, sustainability-minded lunch option. A specific opening day is still up in the air while permits and staffing get finalized.

Where it will land

According to Mixt, the brand lists a "Coming Soon" Walnut Creek location at 1105 S. California Boulevard, with tentative hours plus both indoor and outdoor seating. The listing matches the company’s other Bay Area spots by offering pickup, delivery and group-ordering options for the Walnut Creek store.

What the company has said

Lockehouse first flagged the lease on social media and, as reported by WhatNow, the post identified the space as 1101 S. California Blvd and quoted co-founder Leslie Silverglide saying she is "excited for the debut in Walnut Creek." WhatNow also notes that Mixt operates roughly 20 locations across California and highlights the company’s Certified B Corp status and long-running waste-diversion practices.

Retail context

The property’s leasing brochure shows the space tucked between CVS, Philz Coffee and PNC Bank, a lineup that brokers say pulls in steady foot traffic from shoppers and nearby offices, according to Lockehouse. The listing adds that the corner sees heavy traffic, sits just off Highway 680 and is within reach of Broadway Plaza, factors that should give Mixt’s lunchtime business a solid boost once doors open.

When to expect it

For now, Mixt has only given a July timeframe for the Walnut Creek debut, with no specific grand-opening date on the books yet. The company’s location page and the property’s leasing broker will likely be the first places to show a firm opening day. We will update readers when Mixt locks in the date and posts hiring details for the new store.
