Saladworks, the nation’s leading fast-casual, entrée salad franchise, recently opened a new restaurant in Charlotte. Located at 11318 N. Community House Rd, the new dining option focuses on customization through its array of over 60 fresh, flavorful and healthy ingredients – allowing guests to create a salad as original as they are. In addition to its Signature recipes, Saladworks offers create-your-own options, including salads, wraps, grain bowls, soups and more. Saladworks Ballantyne Corners is owned and operated by former NFL cornerback and local entrepreneur Marcus Burley. The University of Delaware standout played five seasons in the National Football League, and is now poised to achieve another life goal of his: owning his own business. Burley was first introduced to Saladworks while he was a student at the University of Delaware. Upon researching his potential business options, Burley felt a strong connection with the Saladworks team. That, combined with his personal positive experiences at Saladworks provided the perfect business partnership for Burley. “At Delaware, we had a Saladworks on campus, so I already knew I was a fan of the product,” said Burley. “What I am most excited about is the opportunity to share a product I truly believe in with the people and guests of Charlotte. We know the community is eager for a healthy, casual dining setting and we are extremely proud to provide that with our new Saladworks.” Saladworks has spent years creating a menu that caters to everyone’s nutritional needs (vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian) and diets (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30, etc.). While the menu includes 12 chef-driven Signatures, the Saladworks experience allows guests to express their creativity and make salads that are as original as they are, utilizing a wide range of fresh ingredients including a base of greens, grains or a combination of both. Open for lunch and dinner, the new local restaurant offers online ordering and delivery through major third-party delivery services such as Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash. Guests can join the Saladworks Rewards program and download the app for special offers – like earning points for every visit towards free Saladworks. The brand is currently experiencing impressive growth due to a rise in health-conscious consumer behaviors and its unique avenues for expansion, such as ghost kitchens, stores within stores, and locations across the likes of universities and military bases. By the end of 2020, Saladworks plans to open 30 new restaurants and have 50 more in development.
