US-based drive-through salad concept Salad and Go has appointed Mike Tattersfield as its new CEO to lead the next phase of expansion.

Tattersfield took over the role from Charlie Morrison, who departed the chain at the end of last year.

Now a minority owner of the brand, Tattersfield brings more than three decades of leadership experience in the retail and restaurant industry.

He previously served as the president and CEO of Krispy Kreme and held CEO positions at Caribou Coffee Company and Einstein Noah Restaurant Group.

Tattersfield said: "Salad and Go has built something special — it's creating a new paradigm for fast food that makes quality, nutritious food accessible for everyone.

"I took on this role because I believe we can be a positive, disruptive force in every food category we choose to compete in, revolutionising how Americans think about fast food."

Salad and Go currently operates over 140 stores across Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada, and has nearly doubled its presence over the past two years.

In 2024, the company opened its largest central kitchen facility in Garland, Texas, which can support up to 500 locations within a 12-hour drive radius.

Last month, Salad and Go partnered with Kalibrate, utilising its location intelligence platform to bolster the company's growth plans.
