Charlotte, NC, August 6, 2026 —
Salad and Go, a fast-food chain known for its salads and wraps, has ceased all operations and permanently closed its 70 drive-thru locations across Arizona and Nevada. The closure follows a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by the company.
In its bankruptcy filing, Salad and Go cited several factors contributing to its financial distress. These include sustained pressure on consumer demand, challenges faced during past strategic growth phases, and increasing operational costs. Additionally, the company pointed to a decline in consumer confidence, which it linked to a national Cyclospora outbreak.
The assets of Salad and Go, including its former restaurant sites, are reportedly being acquired by a holding company with ties to the founders of Dutch Bros Coffee. Plans are in place for these locations to be converted into coffee shops.
The company operated primarily drive-thru locations, focusing on offering salads and wraps as its core menu items. The specific details regarding the timeline of the Cyclospora outbreak’s impact on consumer confidence and the exact financial figures related to the bankruptcy were not provided in the summary.
