Those closures and sale of assets mark the final chapter for the once fast-growing, drive-thru salad chain. Salad and Go’s menu aligned with consumer trends favoring whole ingredients, balanced meals and affordable prices compared to fast food offerings. Salad and Go’s management team did everything it could to keep the chain running, Gallagher said. The chain also closed 70 more units in peripheral markets, reduced corporate headcount, renegotiated vendor contracts and closed its Texas Central Kitchen. The chain closed 41 underperforming units in the Central Region in September, then closed the rest of its Texas and Oklahoma units in January.
