Just Salad bet the bank that people would like to go out to eat and eat healthy. They are winning that bet.

They are unapologetic about serving fresh and delicious ingredients in the form of not only salads but also wraps, warm bowls, soups, avocado toast and smoothies. It’s working.

I have to say their Tex-Mex wrap looks amazing.

The space Boston Market occupied has sat vacant for nine months at Staples Plaza. The Just Salad will be the new neighbor to Trader Joe’s and Bubbakoo’s Burritos.

They won’t be without healthy fast casual competition. Sweetgreen has been in Shrewsbury since 2022 and there’s also Salad House in Red Bank.
