Coffee Chain Declared Successful Bidder in Auction for Several Salad and Go Locations in Arizona
The Arkansas-based coffee chain agreed to pay more than $143 million for 73 former Salad and Go drive-thrus, pending bankruptcy court approval.
- On Monday, 7 Brew won a bankruptcy auction for 73 Salad and Go locations, bidding more than $143 million and defeating competitor Dutch Bros in the process.
- Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early August 2026, initially planning to sell 65 locations to Dutch Bros for $105 million before 7 Brew challenged the process in court.
- Dutch Bros CEO Christine Barone said the company remained "disciplined" and declined to increase its $105 million offer, enabling 7 Brew to secure 41 Arizona locations.
- A bankruptcy judge must approve the transaction at a Sept. 21, 2026 hearing, while landlords have until Sept. 17, 2026 to object to the lease transfer.
- 7 Brew aims to expand in Arizona, where it currently operates only three locations; remaining Salad and Go assets may be sold individually or in smaller groups.
