A South Jersey original is celebrating a major milestone! Saladworks turns 40 this year, and the popular fast-casual restaurant chain is thanking customers with a special weekly deal.
Did you know that Saladworks got its start right here in South Jersey?
Long before the brand became a familiar name in the fast-casual dining industry, Saladworks opened its very first location at the Cherry Hill Mall in 1986.
That’s right! What started as a single salad shop in the Cherry Hill Mall has grown into a recognizable restaurant brand with locations throughout New Jersey and beyond. Four decades later, Saladworks still serves customizable, made-to-order salads and wraps.
And now, the company is celebrating its 40th anniversary by giving customers something to look forward to every Tuesday.
$6.99 Tuesdays: A Thank You to Customers
As part of its anniversary celebration, Saladworks has introduced Customer Appreciation Tuesdays, featuring a special starting price of $6.99 on Create Your Own Salads and Wraps at participating locations.
Every Tuesday, customers can build their own base salad or wrap and choose their favorite ingredients to create a meal that suits their tastes.
The offer starts at just $6.99 plus tax, making it an appealing option for anyone looking for an affordable lunch or dinner.
The promotion is Saladworks’ way of thanking the customers who have supported the brand over the past four decades.
Keep in mind that the promotion is available at participating locations, and additional ingredients or upgrades may cost extra.
From Cherry Hill Mall to a Familiar Restaurant Brand
For longtime South Jersey residents, Saladworks is more than another restaurant chain. It’s a homegrown success story.
Founded in 1986, Saladworks helped popularize the idea of creating a personalized entrée salad at a time when salads were often considered side dishes rather than complete meals.
The concept was simple: Let customers build a fresh meal with their choice of greens, vegetables, proteins, toppings, and dressings.
That approach eventually helped Saladworks establish a presence in shopping centers, malls, and neighborhoods throughout the region.
Today, Saladworks is part of WOWorks, a restaurant platform focused on better-for-you dining concepts.
Despite its growth, the company’s South Jersey roots remain an important part of its history.
In fact, Saladworks still operates several locations throughout the area, including Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Marlton, Mount Laurel, Cinnaminson, Deptford, Glassboro, and other communities.
It’s nice to see a restaurant concept that launched inside the Cherry Hill Mall 40 years ago still going strong.
More Anniversary Specials Are Coming
The $6.99 Tuesday promotion is just part of the celebration.
Saladworks says it will announce additional anniversary specials, promotions, and discounts soon as it continues to celebrate its 40-year milestone.
Customers can follow Saladworks on Instagram for upcoming announcements and visit the official Saladworks website for menu information and participating locations.
You can also check out the TikTok highlighting the Customer Appeciation Special.
Forty years is an impressive accomplishment in the restaurant industry, and it’s especially nice when the success story started right here in South Jersey.
Happy 40th anniversary, Saladworks!
If you haven’t visited in a while, a $6.99 Tuesday might be the perfect excuse to stop by.
