November 08, 2024 // Franchising.com // TEMPLE, Texas –  Salata Salad Kitchen inked a multi-unit agreement with local entrepreneur, Stephanie Estes, in Waco and Temple.

As a Temple, Texas native, Estes brings a wealth of experience to her new venture, having spent 15 years in Los Angeles managing premium event spaces. She opened and operated two renowned venues—loftSEVEN Penthouse and OUE Skyspace—which played host to some of LA’s most high-profile events. Estes' passion for health and wellness, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, drew her to Salata, a brand she long admired. 

“I’ve always loved Salata’s unique, customizable approach to healthy eating,” said Estes. “When I moved back to Texas, I saw a real need for more health-conscious dining options in Temple and Waco, and Salata was the perfect fit to fill that gap. I’m excited to bring healthier dining options to these communities, especially in a way that allows guests to truly customize their meals. Salata’s commitment to fresh, wholesome ingredients aligns with my values, and I can’t wait to share that with the people in my hometown and beyond.”

Salata offers a unique, fresh dining experience. The brand’s dedication to providing healthy, accessible dining options resonates strongly in local communities, and Stephanie Estes' new locations in Temple and Waco are a testament to Salata’s ongoing mission to expand its footprint while staying true to its Texas origins.

“Texas is the heart of Salata, and we’re proud to grow in Temple and Waco,” said Michele Maerz, President of Salata. “Stephanie embodies the passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to wellness that define our brand. We’re confident she will not only excel in bringing our fresh and nutritious dining options to these vibrant markets but also help us further our mission of making healthy living more accessible in our home state.”

Salata offers built-to-order salads and wraps alongside soups, teas, and lemonades, empowering guests to create their ideal meal in an accessible way. With more than 50 fresh toppings available on the menu including fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins prepared in-house daily and house-made proprietary dressings, Salata has established a loyal following by providing customizable options for any lifestyle.
