And now bad news for the non-fatties.

Not that it was a real "food scene," but Salad and Go is closing all Texas locations effective tomorrow. They just built a bunch of new stores, so maybe they got overextended. I never understood how a drive-through salad place expected to survive, but maybe they saw the success of Salata and tried to give it a fast food spin.

ETA from a press release last year:
Quote:

Rounding the bend on a successful 2023, CEO Charlie Morrison has aggressive plans to bring Salad and Go to even more Americans with a goal of continuing to open nearly a store per week in 2024.

"2023 was a year of exceptional growth, but 2024 will be a breakout year for Salad and Go," promises Morrison. "We have the right offering and the right team at the right time. We are at an inflection point in this country where Americans are demanding more from restaurant chains. They shouldn't have to compromise on fresh, nutritious food that's also convenient and affordable."



My coworker loved this place for the value & quality, and was sad the Katy location by her closed a while back. I never made it to the Sonic Shepherd location.

I really liked the one by my house. It was good and reasonably priced. I will miss it. Sucked eating in the truck, but whatever. I didn't see this coming.


I'm surprised they made it as long as they did. The one on Shepherd just north of the loop never had a single car there anytime I drove by it.

Why get a salad, when you can go next door and get a TACO salad?

Same for Richmond/Chimney Rock.

that is a strange corner. I never understood why they set up the Starbucks like that.

Agreed. It's a pain in the ass to get in and out of, especially with the steep exit to Chimney Rock from the parking lot.

There's a salad and go right outside my neighborhood in Katy. My wife goes there a couple times a week. Sad. I can't figure out what they will repurpose the building as. Hopefully it doesn't sit empty for long. It shares a parking lot with Starbucks so a drive thru coffee isn't likely

But that 2.2MM is just in rent alone according to the article. A man of that means should've bought a property if he wanted a restaurant.
they'd make him PG the debt and it's probably much more favorable to occupy the space as a tenant instead of owner for tax purposes.

He has to PG the lease, so don't think that was the issue.

That's also a multi-use building - or was planned to be at least back when I was involved with it.
