The Big Salad

Yes. The Big Salad is a franchise in the food & beverage category, which means you can own and operate a The Big Salad location under a franchise agreement with the franchisor. The franchisor provides the brand, systems, and ongoing support in exchange for an initial franchise fee and royalties, all disclosed in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

The The Big Salad initial franchise fee is $49K – $50K, paid to the franchisor at signing. This is separate from total investment and does not include build-out, equipment, or working capital.

The Big Salad operates 5 active locations as of the most recent FDD filing. Request the latest FDD for state-by-state distribution and openings/closures from Item 20.

The Big Salad was founded in 2009, giving the brand 17 years of operating history. Brand longevity matters in franchising because it correlates with refined operations, established supplier relationships, and a tested franchisee playbook.

The Big Salad unit-level profitability depends on location, operating costs, staffing, and management. When a franchisor makes an earnings claim, it appears in Item 19 of the Franchise Disclosure Document, the only place franchise financial performance is officially disclosed. Request the The Big Salad FDD on this page to review any Item 19 financial performance representation.
