Chopt Opens In New Providence With Donation To EMS

NEW PROVIDENCE — Chopt Creative Salad Co. is opening its third New Jersey location in New Providence on Wednesday. And as part of the celebration Chopt will partner with New Providence EMS for Chopt Gives Day on Tuesday.

Chopt Gives Day will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and again for dinner from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m on May 8, the day before opening. All customers who make a monetary donation to New Providence EMS will receive a free salad. Regular business hours will begin on May 9.

“New Providence EMS maintains quality medical service by having highly trained members and state of the art life-saving equipment. Our community’s support is vital and without them we cannot operate,” Rick Doran, of New Providence EMS, said. “Funds from Chopt Gives will be used to cover our operating costs and train members, as well as acquire and maintain our life saving equipment. We are happy to be partnering with them for a healthier community and we wish Chopt a warm welcome to New Providence.”

Chopt uses seasonal ingredients and authentic flavors from around the world to make their salads. And all 18 of their scratch-made dressings and freshly-brewed iced teas and lemonades are all made fresh daily.

They also build partnerships with regional artisans and purveyors inside each of their communities, like Hot Bread Kitchen croutons from New York, and butternut squash from Maccarone Farms in New Jersey, to add a local freshness to each menu.

In addition to its classic and build-your-own salad options, Chopt travels to a new destination every 60 days, creating limited-time only salads inspired by locations near and far. The New Providence location will open with Destination Global Street Food, which will feature a New York City Street Cart Salad, Spicy Singapore Noodle Bowl, and Lebanese Hummus Bowl.

The new location features over 68 seats, including a kids table, comfortable booth seating, and playful wallpaper created in partnership with Batabasta, a Spanish design duo. The store is located at 1260 Springfield Ave., Space 18, New Providence and can be reached at 908-516-8040. Chopt’s hours will be 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.
