Salad and Go
Salad and Go is a drive-thru restaurant chain that specializes in salads, wraps, and breakfast. The brand is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona with a second office in Addison, Texas, and two food production facilities in Phoenix and Dallas. Salad and Go is a privately held company with more than 100 locations operating across four states including Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada. The brand features a variety of fresh items such as salads, wraps, soups, breakfast burritos and bowls, cold brew coffee and hand-crafted lemonades. History 
Salad and Go was founded in 2013 in Gilbert, Arizona. The co-founders asked chef Daniel Patino to help them develop the concept. Chef Patino remains executive chef for the brand. In March 2022, industry veteran Charlie Morrison joined Salad and Go as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Since Morrison joined, the brand has expanded rapidly into major markets including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW), Houston, Las Vegas and Oklahoma City while continuing to open locations in its home state of Arizona. Salad and Go is on track to have a total of 135 stores open by the end of 2023. Operations 
Salad and Go vertically integrates operations and distribution, sourcing ingredients directly from local farmers and suppliers whenever possible. The chain operates two food production facilities - one in Arizona and one in Texas - which prepare produce directly from farms and deliver it to stores. The salad chain has plans to build a new food production facility in North Texas by 2025. The average Salad and Go store size is approximately 750 square feet. This smaller-model allows the stores to be built quickly in targeted areas while minimizing costs. Every Salad and Go store has a drive-thru lane and a pickup window for orders placed in the drive-thru, online or through the Salad and Go mobile app. Menu 
Salad and Go uses fresh natural ingredients. The menu currently offers eight salads with house-made dressings and a choice of proteins (chicken, steak and tofu). Every salad is available as a wrap. The menu also features soup and five breakfast burrito options, also available to order as bowls. Locations 
Salad and Go currently has more than 100 stores operating across four states: Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and Nevada. Community impact 
Salad and Go's Salad Donation and Guest Give Programs raises funds and collaborates with its guests to support its local communities and organizations aligned with the company's mission, helping to combat hunger and food scarcity by providing meals to those in need. In 2022, Salad and Go launched its Healthy Habits program which teaches youth the importance of healthy eating and living. Healthy Habits classes provide information about nutrition and exercise and give the children participating opportunities to try healthy ingredients. See also
