Salad Chain Makes Growth-Geared Hire

Andrew Marsallo, formerly of Shake Shack and Pret A Manger, is getting a fresh start as Just Salad’s new director of real estate.

Marsallo will be responsible for managing the brand’s growing real estate pipeline, focusing on both new and existing markets. Currently, Just Salad has over 80 locations across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Marsallo has worked in real estate management for over a decade, gaining experience in overseeing site selection, negotiating leases and performing market analyses.

Nick Kenner, the founder and CEO of Just Salad, says Marsallo’s experience and understanding of the fast casual industry will be “invaluable.” “Andrew’s expertise in the QSR sector will play a pivotal role in strategically selecting new locations for the brand,” he states.
