Green Mill On The Go is a dynamic franchise specializing in providing convenient, high-quality food options to busy customers. Founded in 1995 in Minnesota, this innovative concept emerged from the success of the Green Mill Restaurant & Bar, which has been a staple in the region for decades. 

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Green Mill On The Go began franchising in 2018, expanding its footprint with a focus on delivering freshly prepared meals and snacks through a streamlined service model.

The franchise offers a diverse menu that includes gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and other ready-to-eat items. Its distinctive approach lies in combining the convenience of fast food with the quality and flavors typically associated with sit-down dining experiences. 

Green Mill On The Go differentiates itself by maintaining high standards of food quality and presentation, catering to a market segment that values both speed and taste.
