Salad and Go is done. Every location, after Wednesday.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday and says all 70 remaining drive-thrus across Arizona and Nevada serve their last customers Wednesday. It started in Gilbert back in 2013 on a pretty simple idea, fresh food priced like fast food, out a drive-thru window with barely a building attached. For a stretch there it felt like one was going up on every other corner in the Valley.

The collapse was fast. There were 146 stores at the end of 2024. Forty-one closed last September. In January the chain shut every Texas and Oklahoma location, cut a commissary, and moved its headquarters back to Arizona specifically to refocus on its home market. Seven months later the home market is closing too.

CEO Mike Tattersfield called it a painful day for everyone who built the company and everyone who loved it. The company points to sustained pressure on consumer demand, past growth strategy and rising costs, and says the Cyclospora outbreak in July, which it was not implicated in, weakened confidence across the industry. No guidance has been released yet on gift cards or app credits, so Wednesday is the window either way.

Everybody who went had a go-to order. What was yours?
