Arizona businessowners to revive Salad And Go chain

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 21:03 · Archive

Salad And Go is to reopen in Arizona after closing all locations in August following bankruptcy.

Salad And Go, which served its last customers in August after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, is to reopen in Arizona. Mike Myers, co-founder of Hospitality First Concepts, announced the acquisition on Wednesday alongside fellow business partner Tom Misitano and Daniel Patiño, the chain's original founder and corporate chef. The team has acquired the intellectual property and rights to expand the salad chain throughout North America.

The drive-thru chain originally opened in Gilbert in 2013 and operated 70 locations throughout Arizona and Nevada before its closure. The company cited rising costs, consumer demand pressure and a Cyclospora outbreak as challenges that contributed to the decision to close. All seven Salad And Go locations in the Tucson area shut on 5 August.

Myers and Patiño said they aim to open two locations in Arizona by the end of the year but have not disclosed their locations. They said they will bring back 'the fresh, quality food, great value, and genuine hospitality that made Salad & Go such a special part of so many Arizona communities'. The chain's former assets proved contested: Dutch Bros attempted to purchase closed locations but 7 Brew won a bidding war, with a bankruptcy judge approving 7 Brew's acquisition of 36 Arizona locations on Tuesday.
