## Story

The multi-unit expansion is being undertaken by local St. George investors, Whitaker Morgan and Peter Morgan, who bring extensive business management experience and a passion for community health and wellness.

“I'm thrilled to see it expanding into St. George," added Dan Rigby, Salad Spot's Concept Originator. "This community is defined by its active lifestyle, and our entire mission is to provide the quick, high-quality, healthy fuel they need, right where they need it. The Morgans are the perfect local team to deliver on that promise."

"The expansion into Washington County is a key step in our Mountain West strategy," said Mark Thatcher, President of Salad Spot. "The active, rapid-growth environment here aligns perfectly with our mission to offer truly healthy food that's convenient for people on the go. Partnering with dedicated local business owners like the Morgan family was essential to ensuring this new growth is integrated into the community."

The first Washington County location is targeted to open its doors in Summer 2026 in downtown St. George, marking Salad Spot’s entry into Southern Utah.

"We are incredibly excited to bring the first Salad Spot to Southern Utah and become a central part of Washington County’s vibrant culinary scene," stated Whitaker Morgan, the lead local partner. "We look forward to serving our neighbors starting in the summer of 2026, offering a quick, fresh choice that supports the active lifestyle of this community."

"As someone who trains and lives here, I know how critical it is to have truly healthy, fast food options," added Peter Morgan. "Salad Spot, with its convenient drive-through model, is committed to providing meals that support fitness and health for our neighbors."
