Coppell, Texas, September 22, 2025
News Summary
Salad and Go has announced the closure of 41 restaurants across Texas, affecting all locations in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. The closures will occur on September 19 and are part of the company’s strategy to focus on growth in select markets, including Dallas. The chain aims to readjust its rapid expansion plans under the new CEO, Mike Tattersfield. While these cities will lose all Salad and Go outlets, a few locations will remain open in Dallas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Las Vegas.
Coppell, Texas
Salad and Go will close 41 restaurants in Texas, including all locations in three major metropolitan areas, with the affected stores scheduled to shut on a single date later this year. The company set that date for September 19, 2025, and described the move as part of a narrower growth strategy focused on select markets.
Key details
The closures include all locations in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, which represent approximately two-thirds of the chain’s presence in Texas. All affected stores are scheduled to close on September 19, 2025. Remaining locations will include a few in Dallas as well as stores in Oklahoma, Arizona, and Las Vegas. Currently, there are 10 Salad and Go locations in Dallas. The company did not specify which individual stores would be shutting down.
The decision for closures is part of a strategy to slow down the chain’s rapid expansion and focus on growth in specific markets like Dallas and Oklahoma. This closure marks a significant shift from the company’s previous growth trajectory under the leadership of its new CEO, Mike Tattersfield. The chain had set aggressive expansion goals, aiming to open a new store weekly in the previous year.
Operational and business context
Salad and Go was originally founded in 2013 in Gilbert, Arizona and moved its headquarters to Coppell, Texas in 2022. Salad and Go was purchased by New York City-based private equity firm Volt Investment Holdings. The chain is known for quick and affordable healthy meals, featuring a variety of salads, wraps, and lemonades.
What the company says and what remains unclear
The company framed the closures as a deliberate slowdown of rapid expansion to concentrate resources on stronger or strategically prioritized markets. While the overall number of Texas closures and the statewide scope are specified, the company did not specify which individual stores would be shutting down. The announced closures eliminate the chain’s presence in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio while leaving a smaller footprint in Dallas and continued operations outside Texas.
Impact and timeline
- Number of closures in Texas: 41 restaurants
- Cities losing all Salad and Go locations: Houston, Austin, and San Antonio
- Scheduled final day of operation for affected stores: September 19, 2025
- Remaining in-region presence: a few locations in Dallas (10 currently) and stores in Oklahoma, Arizona, and Las Vegas
Background on expansion and ownership
The chain pursued rapid growth in recent years, with an internal target to open a new store weekly during the prior year. Ownership and leadership changes preceded the announced retrenchment: Salad and Go was purchased by New York City-based private equity firm Volt Investment Holdings, and the company installed a new CEO, Mike Tattersfield, under whose leadership the company is now shifting strategy.
Customer options and next steps
Customers in affected cities will lose local access to Salad and Go after the scheduled closing date. Remaining customers in Dallas and patrons in Oklahoma, Arizona, and Las Vegas will continue to have local store options. The company did not publish a list of specific store closures or a store-by-store timeline prior to the September 19, 2025 closing date.
Additional context
Salad and Go’s model centers on affordable, quick-service healthy meals delivered largely through drive-thru concepts and takeout. The chain’s contraction in Texas follows a period of aggressive nationwide expansion and a corporate relocation of headquarters to Coppell in 2022. The announced closures mark a notable reduction of the chain’s footprint in several of Texas’s largest metro areas while leaving a reduced presence in Dallas and continued operations in several other states.
