Freebie Alert: Salata to Open in Sherman Oaks Friday

From a press release:

On Friday, Sept. 26, Salata will celebrate the grand opening of its first location in Sherman Oaks in Westfield Fashion Square. This is the fast-growing chain’s 40th location in the nation and its fifth in Southern California.

To celebrate the opening of its first Sherman Oaks location and 40th restaurant nationwide, Salata, “The Next Generation Salad Bar,” will give away free meals to the first 40 guests to arrive on grand opening day (includes a free salad or salad wrap and a signature drink). In addition, all salad and salad wraps will be half-off on this day, along with a variety of other giveaways.

A ribbon cutting is at 10:30 a.m. Doors open to the public at 11 a.m. Friday. The address is Westfield Fashion Square, 14006 Riverside Dr., Suite 249 in Sherman Oaks.

At Salata, guests can create customized salads or wraps from their choice of fresh, healthy ingredients – including a variety of lettuce, vegetables, beans, fruits, cheeses, seeds, nuts, house-made dressings and more. Salads and wraps are assembled and tossed by staff and sold for a set price rather than by weight. Chicken and seafood can be added for a small additional charge. Diners can also purchase freshly prepared soups, fresh-baked breads and desserts.

With a commitment to the dietary concerns of its guests, all Salata locations are certified gluten-free and the staff is trained to handle food allergies or dietary restrictions.

The Sherman Oaks Salata restaurant will be owned and operated by local franchisees Tigran and Nazli Martinyan.

“We look forward to bringing Salata’s fresh, healthy and customizable menu to Westfield Fashion Square,” said Tigran Martinyan. “There’s nothing quite like Salata in the food court and we can’t wait to provide the mall-goers with a healthy alternative for lunch and dinner.”

The 1,200-square-foot restaurant will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information and a list of restaurants, please visit www.salata.com.
