History
The brand was established in 2013 in Gilbert, Arizona by Tony and Roushan Christofellis. The restaurant concept was developed in collaboration with Chef Daniel Patino, who continues to serve as the executive chef. In March 2022, Charlie Morrison, a seasoned industry professional, was appointed CEO. Under his leadership, the company accelerated its expansion into major markets such as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Houston, Las Vegas, and Oklahoma City, while also continuing to grow within Arizona. Salad and Go targeted opening roughly 135 locations by the close of 2023. As of January 2024, CEO Morrison revealed intentions to sustain a growth rate of one new store weekly, with plans to scale up to thousands of outlets.
Operations
Salad and Go employs vertical integration for its operations and supply chain, sourcing ingredients directly from local farmers and suppliers whenever feasible. The company manages two food production facilities—in Arizona and Texas—that process farm produce for distribution to stores. Each outlet typically covers around 1,000 square feet, which supports fast and cost-effective construction within selected markets. Stores are designed without standard fast-food equipment such as freezers, boilers, or fryers, allowing for simplified inspections and quicker openings.
Every location includes a drive-thru lane alongside a pickup window for orders placed via drive-thru, online platforms, or the Salad and Go mobile app. The brand does not provide dine-in seating.
On September 19, 2025, Salad and Go announced it would be closing 41 locations across Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and parts of North Texas. New CEO Mike Tattersfield described this decision as part of a strategic effort to focus on more controlled growth.
Menu
The menu at Salad and Go highlights fresh natural ingredients, featuring eight different salads dressed with house-made sauces and protein choices such as chicken, steak, and tofu. All salad options are also available as wraps. Additionally, the menu includes soups along with five varieties of breakfast burritos that can be served as bowls.
Locations
Salad and Go has over 140 restaurants operating throughout Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada.
