CEO Mike Tattersfield said the stores would serve their final customers on August 5, adding: “We are proud of what we built together and grateful to every team member, guest and partner who believed in it.”​The company was unable to cope with rising costs, growth challenges and pressure on consumer demand, while a statement said that the recent cyclospora outbreak also compounded the challenges faced by the chain, despite it not being implicated in the outbreak. Founded in 2013, Salad and Go had served over 60 million meals, with a mission to “make fresh food available to all”, a spokesperson said. Separately, Sysco, the largest US food distributor, has halted purchases of iceberg lettuce from Mexico due to the cyclosporiasis outbreak, according to CEO Kevin ⁠Hourican.
