Come early 2018, Penn students will have another way to satisfy their salad cravings.
Just Salad, a New York-based eatery that sells salads, wraps, smoothies and more, plans to open a second location at 3728 Spruce St. in early 2018, according to an announcement from Penn Facilities and Real Estate Services.
This location is Just Salad's second spot in Philadelphia; in July, the chain set up an outpost at 1729 Chestnut St. in Rittenhouse Square.
The restaurant claims the motto "healthy for everyone," and boasts of a 10 items under $10 offering.
“We’re so excited to bring the world’s largest restaurant reusable program to Penn,” Just Salad CEO and founder Nick Kenner wrote in a statement. “And despite our name, we have the best avocado toast in town, delicious smoothies, high protein wraps, soups, and more.”
Just Salad's new location, according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer, will include a tea station, comfortable chairs, a bar counter and cafe tables.
Founded in 2006, this environmental chain values "eco-friendliness." It is best known for kicking off the world’s largest reusable program at a restaurant, in which it offers customers a reusable $1 bowl that comes with free toppings with every use at any location. This initiative prevents 750,000 pounds of plastic waste every year, according to the press release from Penn.
