Dutch Bros to Buy 70 Salad And Go Sites for $105 Million in Arizona and Nevada

3 articles · Updated · Arizona's Family · Aug 5

Summary

  • $105 million in bankruptcy-court documents would give Dutch Bros control of Salad And Go’s leases and equipment at 70 drive-thru locations in Arizona and Nevada.
  • A $10 million deposit has already been paid, with the balance due at closing, and the sites can be converted quickly because they already operate as drive-thru-only locations needing no alterations or maintenance.
  • Salad And Go said the 70 locations will shut permanently by the end of Wednesday, following earlier closures of all Texas and Oklahoma stores in January and more than 40 stores nationwide announced in September 2025.
  • Dutch Bros, founded in Oregon and now headquartered in Tempe, already has more than 100 Arizona locations, making the deal a rapid expansion of its regional drive-thru footprint.
