Saladworks, the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed salad franchise concept, is opening its second Virginia location, in Reston in the Plaza America Shopping Center, 11692 Plaza America Drive.

Saladworks is celebrating the grand opening of its Reston, Virginia, location by offering $5 salads for three days, February 11-13.

The Reston Saladworks is owned and operated by Michael Lord, of Sterling, Virginia, who spent 25 years in engineering before deciding it was time to go into business for himself. 

“I am thrilled to open my own business and realize the American dream,” Lord says. “Saladworks fits my healthy lifestyle perfectly. I truly believe in the product as well as the system, after all I am a salad fanatic.”

“We are excited to open our second Virginia location, it’s a great market for us,” says chairman and CEO John Scardapane. "We hope the people in Reston become as fanatical about enjoying our salads as we are about creating them.”
