History

Established in 2008.

John Bornoty was in New York City some years ago, eating a sandwich in a delicatessen in Manhattan. This is the beginning of The Big Salad story.

Bornoty had an idea: to create a specialty salad restaurant, where salads are made for you, not by you, but to your exact specifications. A salad restaurant where the number of fresh toppings seems limitless and where the lettuce is continuously kept crisp and cold. And the salad ingredients are not handled by the masses, but by one associate who is dedicated to making you the best salad possible.

And to finish off the concept, Bornoty wanted to create an environment that did not say «fast food» but «good food.» This meant real granite counters, real wood accents and real wooden chairs, not plastic.

Bornoty opened the first The Big Salad in 2008 in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, an upscale suburb of Detroit. It became an instant oasis for diners seeking fresh food at fast food prices.
