Nashville, TN, August 6, 2026 —
Salad and Go, a fast-food chain known for its drive-thru salad offerings, has announced the permanent closure of all its locations. The decision follows the company’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The company, which primarily operated in Arizona and Nevada, cited a confluence of factors contributing to its financial distress and subsequent closure. A significant reason mentioned was a decline in consumer demand for lettuce. This downturn was partly attributed to a national Cyclospora outbreak. While Salad and Go was not implicated in the outbreak, the event reportedly weakened overall industry confidence in lettuce-based products.
In addition to market demand shifts, Salad and Go also faced other financial challenges and rising operational costs, which contributed to the bankruptcy filing.
The company’s assets, including its network of store locations, are set to be acquired by a holding company. This entity is associated with the founders of Dutch Bros Coffee. Plans are in place for these acquired sites to be converted into Dutch Bros Coffee shops.
The specific timeline for the complete closure of all Salad and Go stores was not provided. Information regarding any potential impact on employees was also not detailed in the provided summary.
