Salad and Go to shut all stores after bankruptcy filing; founders say closure is 'heartbreaking'
CEO Mike Tattersfield confirmed on Tuesday that all 70 locations across Arizona and Nevada will serve their final customers on August 5, bringing an end to the fast-casual chain's operations.
Drive-thru salad chain Salad and Go will shutter all 70 of its Arizona and Nevada locations after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing the cyclospora outbreak as a contributing factor to its financial downfall. CEO Mike Tattersfield announced the closure will occur on August 5, describing the decision as a "painful day" for everyone involved.
The founders of the company, who exited in 2021 to start Angie's, expressed their emotional response to the news, calling it "bittersweet" to see the final stores close after 13 years of operation. While the founders did not create Angie's to replicate Salad and Go, they shared their vision of making high-quality, affordable food accessible, with Angie's menu featuring premium ingredients like USDA Prime steak and antibiotic-free chicken.
The founders thanked customers for their support over the years and encouraged them to patronize Angie's instead, emphasizing that the mission extended beyond just salads to making great food affordable for all.
