## Story

CYPRESS, Texas - Salata Salad Kitchen officially announced the grand opening of its newest restaurant in Cypress. The new restaurant is located within the Elyson community at 22310 FM-529 in Cypress and is conveniently situated off the Grand Parkway.

Salata restaurants feature fully customizable, built-to-order salads, wraps, soups, organic teas and lemonades, along with fresh fruit, vegetables and lean proteins, which are all prepared and chopped daily in-house. With five salad bases, over 50 toppings and 11 house-made, gluten-free dressings, guests can create meals tailored to their lifestyle. Salata can be enjoyed through online ordering with pick-up and delivery, as well as dine-in and catering. Guests can earn points and rewards with every purchase by joining Salata’s Tastemaker Rewards program.

To celebrate the grand opening on April 25, the new Elyson restaurant hosted a dine for a cause initiative where on-site adoptions will be available through Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue. Other special offerings available during the grand opening included:

- The first guest in line received a Salata swag kit featuring a tote bag, lunch bento box, reusable water bottle, and a one-of-a-kind-veggie stress ball. In addition, they received Salata for a year* *52 free salad/wrap promo cards inside the Salata swag box.

- The first 50 guests received a free Salata-branded t-shirt.

- A free small veggie salad when downloading the Salata Tastemaker app and joining the rewards program.

“Every restaurant opening that I’ve been a part of has always received such an overwhelmingly positive response from the community and I’m confident that this one will be no different,” said Joe Piro, a multi-unit franchisee with Salata.

The Elyson Salata is the 20th Salata restaurant opened under Joe Piro and Supreme Greens, LLC. Piro and his team are the largest franchisee group within the Salata system.

“We are thrilled to see Joe continue to bolster his ownership portfolio with our brand,” said Michele Maerz, President of Salata. “His commitment to Salata’s mission and values, along with his dedication to giving back to his community, has made him an invaluable asset to our brand and we are confident in his ability to connect with the members of Elyson.”
