Boersma Bros Buys 70 Salad And Go Sites for $105 Million as Chain Shuts Down

3 articles · Updated · KOLD · Aug 6

Summary

  • $105 million in bankruptcy-court documents would give Boersma Bros control of Salad And Go’s 70 Arizona and Nevada drive-thru locations, with $10 million already deposited and the rest due at closing.
  • Those sites are set to be converted into Dutch Bros coffee, beverage and food outlets, and the filing said their drive-thru-only format means no major structural changes are needed.
  • Salad And Go said the 70 locations will close permanently by the end of Wednesday, extending a retreat that already included all Texas and Oklahoma stores in January and more than 40 closures announced in September 2025.
  • Dutch Bros framed the deal as a way to accelerate store growth and deepen its footprint in Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas, while customers and former workers described abrupt shutdowns and job losses.
