Saladworks

Salad-focused fast-casual Saladworks has seen recent success in a nontraditional format by adding kiosk locations within two ShopRite grocery stories. The unusual partnership has worked out so well that the chain is expanding the format with plans to open new locations within Philadelphia-area Fresh Grocer and ShopRite stores. The salad brand also has locations under development in Delaware, Maryland and New York.
