Mixt to Open New San Mateo Location
Mixt, a Bay Area chain of fast-casual restaurants known for its salads, is set to open a new location in San Mateo on March 3rd. The opening will be marked by a week-long celebration. The expansion reflects the chain's continued growth in the region and rising consumer demand for healthy dining options.
- The new restaurant is located at 301 South B Street in downtown San Mateo, taking over a space previously occupied by B Street Books, which moved to Burlingame in 2025. - The San Mateo opening marks the company's 20th location and coincides with its 20th anniversary. - Mixt was founded in San Francisco in 2005 by Leslie and David Silverglide, along with Andrew Swallow. - The week-long opening celebration includes collaborations with other local businesses, featuring giveaways such as a free bag from Baggu, cupcakes from Sibby's Cupcakery, and classes from fitness studios Orangetheory and BodyRok with an entree purchase. - In 2009, the founders sold the chain to an investment fund, only to reacquire it in 2012 with plans to expand the concept. - The company has been a certified B Corp since 2018, indicating it meets certain standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. - In addition to its Bay Area locations, Mixt also operates restaurants in Los Angeles and Dallas, Texas.
