Dutch Bros Files to Buy 51 Salad and Go Sites for $105 Million After Chapter 11

3 articles · Updated · ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix · Aug 5

Summary

  • $105 million in court filings shows Dutch Bros seeking to buy 51 Salad and Go locations in Arizona and Nevada, plus certain leases in Texas and Oklahoma.
  • Chapter 11 triggered the move after Salad and Go said it would close all locations on Aug. 5 and serve its last customers that day.
  • The agreement was signed before the bankruptcy filing and covers leases, furniture, fixtures and equipment, but excludes the Salad and Go brand and recipes.
  • Federal bankruptcy judge approval is still required, making the filing the latest step in Dutch Bros' plan to convert the shuttered drive-thru sites.
