Franchise brand Saladworks is expanding to Dallas-Fort Worth with its first two locations set to open early Summer 2018 at Gateway Plaza in Southlake and Fort Worth's Citadel complex. The fast-casual salad franchise applied data analytics to gain greater insight into market demographics, unveiling the region's ripe opportunity for expansion as population increase drives big demand.

To open a Saladworks, the start-up costs range from $498,089 to $592,190.
