Despite challenges spurred by the pandemic, Salad Station was able to keep open all 26 locations and is now expanding with recent openings in New Orleans, California and Mississippi, according to a company press release. The brand also expects to enter Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee in the first half of 2022.
"We truly believe that what we have created here is something special," Co-Founder and CEO of Salad Station Scott Henderson said in the release. "The pandemic has definitely thrown some hurdles our way, but through it all, our team has persevered and established the foundation of a true, gourmet and fresh brand. I'm thrilled and eagerly awaiting what the future has in store for us and our entire Salad Station family."
Henderson said the success can be attributed to his pay-by-the-pound business concept, which reduces waste, as well as its soups and gourmet wraps.
Salad Station, which plans to have 50 locations open by the beginning of 2024 and 100 locations by 2027, is searching for franchisees looking to become single-unit operators.
"Our franchising opportunity was made with family in mind. No experience required, friendly hours, and proven systems that will make the whole family proud," Henderson said.
With a franchise fee of $30,000 the estimated initial investment to open a Salad Station franchise is $192,300- $373,800.
