About

About Saladworks

Saladworks was born in 1986 when founder John Scardapane opened the first location in Cherry Hill, New Jersey — well before "fast casual" was a recognized category. Scardapane's vision was simple: give guests a full-service salad bar experience in a quick-service format, with fresher ingredients and more combinations than any sandwich shop could offer. Within a decade the chain had expanded across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, building a loyal regional following that competitors from the West Coast would later try to replicate on a national scale.

Today Saladworks operates more than 100 locations concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, with a growing number of franchise sites in airports and university dining programs. The brand was acquired by MTY Food Group — a Canadian multi-brand franchisor — in 2020, giving it the infrastructure to accelerate growth while maintaining the scratch-made recipes and 60-plus topping lineup that longtime fans expect. Every salad is assembled to order in view of the guest, tossed in a proprietary mixing bowl, and served with a signature dressing from a rotating house selection.

Saladworks distinguishes itself from newer salad competitors by emphasizing value alongside customization. The Create Your Own platform starts at $9.99 — meaningfully below comparable offerings at Sweetgreen or Chopt — and the Pick 2 combo concept lets guests mix a half salad with a cup of soup or half wrap for under $13. The menu also includes Kids Works portions, hot melts on toasted bread, and a daily rotating soup program that extends its appeal well beyond peak lunch hours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Saladworks salad cost?

A Create Your Own salad or wrap starts at $9.99 and includes your choice of base greens, five fresh toppings, and a dressing. Adding a premium protein such as grilled chicken, tuna, or salmon costs an additional $2.50–$3.00, bringing a loaded salad to roughly $12–$13. Signature salads range from $10.49 to $12.49 depending on the recipe.

What is the cheapest item on the Saladworks menu?

The most affordable item is the Bread Roll at $1.49. Among full menu items, a Kids Works Salad or Wrap runs $6.99, and a cup of soup starts at $5.49 — making those the go-to choices for budget-conscious visits.

Does Saladworks have a loyalty or rewards program?

Yes. Saladworks runs a points-based rewards program called Saladworks Rewards. Guests earn 1 point for every dollar spent and can redeem points for free menu items. You can sign up online at saladworks.com or through the mobile app, which also allows mobile ordering and exclusive member offers.

Is Saladworks healthy?

Saladworks is among the lower-calorie options in fast casual. A garden salad without protein is roughly 200 calories, while protein-topped salads range from about 400–600 calories depending on ingredients. The menu includes multiple gluten-free and vegetarian options, and the nutritional menu on the website lists full calorie and allergen data for every ingredient.

What is the Pick 2 combo at Saladworks?

Pick 2 is Saladworks' combo option that lets you pair two half-portions from the salad, wrap, and soup categories. The most popular is the Salad + Soup combo at $11.99, which gives you a half signature salad and a cup of house soup. It's a great value compared to ordering each item separately.

Does Saladworks offer catering?

Yes. Saladworks offers catering for events of all sizes. Options include salad bars, wrap trays, and grazer trays that can be customized for the group. Catering orders can be placed through the official website or by calling your local Saladworks directly. Minimum order quantities and lead times vary by location.

Who owns Saladworks?
