Salad and Go filed for bankruptcy and will permanently close all 70 of its restaurants, ending a 13-year run for the drive-thru salad chain.
Its restaurants in Arizona and Nevada will provide their final guest service on Wednesday
The filing completes a steep reversal for a brand that operated more than 140 company-owned restaurants as recently as May 2025. Salad and Go nearly doubled its footprint over the preceding two years before closing half of its system in less than a year. The company cited sustained pressure on consumer demand, rising costs, and previous growth challenges as reasons it could not continue operating.
Salad and Go also pointed to a multistate Cyclospora outbreak in July that weakened consumer confidence across the industry. The chain was not implicated in the outbreak. “This is a painful day for everyone who built, worked for, and loved Salad and Go,” CEO Mike Tattersfield said in a statement. “Our mission was brought to life every day by an extraordinary team and embraced by guests who made us part of their routines. We are proud of what we built together and grateful to every team member, guest, and partner who believed in it.” The bankruptcy follows two major rounds of restaurant closures that erased Salad and Go’s presence outside Arizona and Nevada.
