Dutch Bros in big expansion move via acquisition — here are the locations

Dutch Bros is accelerating its expansion by acquiring the real estate of a bankrupt fast-casual salad chain.

The fast-growing drive-thru coffee chain said it has entered into an agreement to acquire the real estate and related site assets of up to 65 Salad and Go locations across Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. (See list of locations at end of article.) The purchase price was not revealed.

Salad and Go filed for bankruptcy on Aug. 4, and abruptly closed all its locations on the following day. Similar to Dutch Bros, Salad and Go operated a drive-thru model. Its menu featured made-to-order salads, breakfast options and more. 

Dutch Bros expects to convert the Salad and Go locations its format in 2027. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.

Earlier this year, Dutch Bros acquired the 20-unit Clutch Coffee Bar chain. The coffee chain has set a goal of 2,029 shops in 2029, with a long-term goal of 4,000 shops in the next 10-to-15 years. (As of June 30, it had 1,225 locations.)
