Salad And Go Files for Bankruptcy and Announces Permanent Closure of All 70 Drive-Thru Locations

Salad And Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced it will permanently close all 70 of its drive-thru locations by the end of the day Wednesday, August 5. The Arizona-based chain cited rising costs, weakened consumer confidence, and a July outbreak of Cyclospora, a foodborne parasite, as primary factors for the closure. Boersma Bros, LLC, the holding company for Dutch Bros Coffee, has agreed to purchase the assets of Salad And Go for $105 million. Under the agreement, Dutch Bros will take over the leases and equipment at the Arizona and Nevada locations, converting them into coffee and beverage outlets. CEO Mike Tattersfield stated that the company was proud of what they built together and expressed gratitude to the team and guests. The company began its expansion in 2013 and served customers across multiple states before the final closure.
