Saladworks, a fast-casual chain that has been serving made-to-order salads and wraps since 1986, has launched a weekly promotion called $6.99 Tuesdays, which allows customers at participating locations to build a fully customized base salad or wrap every Tuesday for a fixed price, with proteins available as an optional add-on.
The promotion coincides with the brand’s 40th anniversary and serves as a direct response to recent public concerns about leafy green safety, with the company emphasizing its long-standing food safety protocols — from frequent produce deliveries and daily fresh preparation to rigorous vetting of supply chain partners.
The $6.99 Tuesdays promotion begins August 18, 2026. By allowing full customization across its lineup of greens, vegetables, and toppings, Saladworks' deal caters to a diverse range of dietary preferences and needs.
