Salata Salad Kitchen Expands Texas Footprint with Second Location Announced for Frisco

As Mina's fifth Salata restaurant, the Frisco location is set to open January 2024 along the tollway, conveniently situated at 4880 Eldorado Parkway Suite 600 Frisco TX, 75033.

“The people of Frisco are known for their warmth and hospitality”, said Mina. “It’s a thriving community brimming with diverse, health-conscious individuals and families who lead vibrant, active lives. I’m eagerly anticipating contributing to this welcoming community through Salata. We aim to create a dining experience for all ages that harmonizes with their wellness-oriented lifestyle and become one with the community.”

Houston-based Salata offers built-to-order salads and wraps alongside soups, teas, and lemonades, empowering guests to customize their ideal meal in an accessible way. With more than 50 fresh toppings available on the menu, including fruits, vegetables and proteins prepared in-house daily and house-made salad dressings, Salata has established a loyal following by providing customizable and healthy options for any lifestyle.

"Michael's unwavering dedication to our brand since the beginning,” as noted by Salata's President, Michele Maerz. “He has played an integral role in Salata's journey of growth, embodying our mission and values wholeheartedly. We are excited to have him spearhead our ongoing expansion in Frisco."

Salata has maintained its place at the leading edge of the fast casual restaurant category with tech-enabled advancements. Continually looking to evolve and find fresh, innovative ways to meet the needs of its guests and franchisees while staying true to its brand, Salata recently launched a systemwide restaurant “Refresh” program. Officially launching in 2022, the program guides existing franchisees in updating the brand’s legacy restaurants with a completely new look and feel, which offers the clean and fresh ambiance guests have come to associate with the salad kitchen’s menu and ingredients.

The new, crisp design is as appealing to operators as it is to guests with a separate online order station, offering a quick and easy pickup option and increased operational efficiencies for franchisees and their teams.
