Chopt Creative Salad Company

Founded in 2001 by college friends Tony Shure and Colin McCabe, Chopt Creative Salad Company is the creator and leader of the premium salad segment, and has expanded from its original location in New York City's Union Square to include 73 locations in New York City, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Connecticut, suburban Westchester, New York, New Jersey, suburban Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Chopt is a fast-growing company with a core team of great people and tremendous opportunities opening up as Chopt and its team continue to expand. Aiming to change the future of fast food, Chopt pushes the boundaries of what a salad can be with its core menu of 14 Classics, 3 rotating Seasonal Specials, 25 homemade, small-batch dressings, and limited-time-only "Super Seasonals" that feature local produce only at its peak. Expanding its "Better Tastes Better" philosophy beyond its restaurant walls, Chopt also partners with non-profit Wellness in the Schools to bring healthy lunches to New York City public schools.
