Green + The Grain is a contemporary salad restaurant founded in 2013 by Tiffany Hauser in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Initially launched as a food truck, the brand expanded to its first retail location in 2015 and has since grown to include multiple metro locations across the U.S.
In 2023, Green + The Grain Franchising LLC was established, and the company began offering franchises in April 2024. The franchise model focuses on high-traffic urban markets, emphasizing a streamlined, single-daypart operation with dine-in, online ordering, and catering services.
The menu at Green + The Grain features globally inspired salads and wraps, such as The Farmer, Apple + Pear, and Thai Beef Tenderloin, all crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The brand differentiates itself through its commitment to quality, experience, balance, and gratitude, encapsulated in what they call "The Proprietary Ingredient," which influences every aspect of their operations.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Green + The Grain offers a comprehensive and structured training program for franchisees and their staff to ensure proper execution of brand standards and business operations. The training programs include both virtual and in-person components designed to prepare new franchisees and their key personnel effectively.
Green + The Grain provides limited territory protection to its franchisees through a designated area outlined in the franchise agreement. While franchisees are not granted exclusive territory rights, they are assigned a "Designated Area" where no other Green + The Grain restaurants—either franchised or company-owned—will be established during the term of the agreement.
This area may be defined by specific geographic markers like street boundaries or a drawn map. However, this protection does not prevent the franchisor from conducting business outside the designated territory or through alternative distribution channels. Green +
The Grain retains the right to operate in nontraditional locations such as airports, college campuses, and military bases, even if they are within a franchisee’s Designated Area. Franchisees also cannot claim exclusivity over sales made online or through other forms of electronic commerce initiated by the franchisor.
