Overview
- Salad and Go filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas and said all 70 Arizona and Nevada locations will close with final guest service on Aug. 5, 2026.
- The company said it could not overcome sustained weak consumer demand, prior strategic expansion problems and rising operating costs, and it added that a July Cyclospora outbreak elsewhere weakened industry confidence though Salad and Go was not implicated.
- Founded in Gilbert in 2013, the chain grew to 70 drive‑thru locations and said it served more than 60 million meals over 13 years.
- Salad and Go framed Chapter 11 as a court‑supervised way to realize the value of its assets and meet obligations, and the announced permanent closures indicate the company plans an orderly wind‑down and asset disposition rather than continued operations.
- The shutdown will immediately affect employees, regular guests and local suppliers, and the company said it will focus on winding down operations, addressing obligations and working through the bankruptcy process under court supervision.
