Salad Spot’s Founders Are Proving That Fast Food Can Be Fresh, Simple, and Franchise-Ready
When Mark Thatcher and Tyler Dixon teamed up to launch Salad Spot, they weren’t just starting another restaurant—they were launching a franchise brand designed from day one to scale. Built around three core pillars—fresh, fast, and affordable—Salad Spot is changing what customers expect from a drive-through experience.
From modular buildings to a streamlined menu and a rotating monthly special, Salad Spot keeps operations simple while creating buzz and loyalty in their community. Their initial location in Logan, Utah, has drawn impressive crowds and glowing reviews, thanks to their emphasis on great service, strong culture, and operational consistency.
What sets Salad Spot apart isn’t just the food—it’s the infrastructure. Their modular units arrive pre-equipped, reducing startup costs and speeding up time to open. That same philosophy extends to franchise support and training, making it possible for first-time business owners to step into a well-designed system and succeed.
As they prepare to expand across Utah, Idaho, and beyond, Mark and Tyler are focused on finding franchisees who believe in the brand’s mission and want to make an impact in their communities. Their goal? A thousand locations in ten years—all rooted in the same commitment to quality, service, and simplicity that made their first store a local favorite.
