Who says fast food has to mean greasy, unhealthy options? Just Salad is challenging the fast-food status quo by bringing fresh, fast, and affordable meals to the drive-thru lane. Located at 277 Eisenhower Parkway in the Shoppes at the Livingston Circle, the new location offers everything you love about Just Salad’s fresh, chef-designed salads, wraps, bowls, soups, and smoothies—but now with the speed and convenience of a drive-thru. Just Salad is solving not only a meal but our lives!
A fresh twist!
Gone are the days of choosing between speed and health. Now, customers can drive up, place their orders, and get nutritious meals without ever having to leave the comfort of their car. Whether you’re in the mood for a seasonal winter salad or a classic favorite like the Crispy Chicken Poblano, Just Salad’s drive-thru makes it easy to enjoy wholesome meals that fuel your day.
This isn’t just about offering salads. It’s about making sustainability and convenience work together. The new location still incorporates the company’s signature fresh, daily-prepped ingredients, so you don’t have to compromise on quality for speed. Just Salad is all about providing customers with meals that support their health and wellness goals—now with the bonus of being quick and eco-friendly.
“This new location reflects our belief that fast food can be redefined – it can be fresh, it can be sustainable, and it can still be convenient,” said Nick Kenner, Founder & CEO at Just Salad. “This format allows us to serve our guests with added convenience, representing a major step forward in making healthy, delicious food even more accessible. It’s an exciting moment for Just Salad as we continue to innovate and rapidly expand into new markets.”
Meeting people where they need it most
In today’s world, consumers want everything now—and they want it to be easy. Convenience has become a major factor in our dining choices, and companies like Just Salad are adapting fast to meet those expectations.
