Overview
- Salad and Go will permanently close 41 restaurants, eliminating all locations in Houston, Austin and San Antonio and trimming units in Dallas–Fort Worth and Oklahoma.
- Stores in Phoenix, Tucson and Las Vegas will continue operating without change.
- CEO Mike Tattersfield said the consolidation is intended to strengthen the brand through quality improvements, innovation and community investment.
- The company signals a continued focus on Dallas–Fort Worth and Oklahoma, and Houston workers were told their last day would be Sept. 19, according to local reports.
- The pullback follows rapid growth to roughly 140–146 units and comes after earlier chicken-quality concerns that prompted a vendor change.
