Salad and Go to close all stores after bankruptcy filing
A company called Salad and Go makes healthy salads and food you can get without leaving your car.
The company is closing all of its stores.
It had money problems and went through a special process called bankruptcy.
One reason for the money problems was an outbreak of a tiny germ called cyclospora.
There were 70 Salad and Go stores in two states, Arizona and Nevada.
The last day customers can visit is August 5.
The leader of the company, Mike Tattersfield, said it was a painful day for everyone who worked there.
The people who first started Salad and Go 13 years ago said seeing it close broke their hearts.
They now run a different restaurant called Angie's.
They hope people will keep supporting the idea that good food should cost less, not more.
Drive-thru chain Salad and Go will permanently close all 70 locations across Arizona and Nevada.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing the recent cyclospora outbreak among contributing factors.
CEO Mike Tattersfield confirmed the closures on Tuesday, calling it a 'painful day' for employees, customers and partners.
The original founders, who left the company in 2021 and now run Angie's, called the closure 'heartbreaking.'
The founders encouraged customers to support Angie's, which continues their mission of making higher-quality food affordable.
