How it Started
In 2012 Founder & President, Scott Henderson, envisioned the concept of a salad restaurant providing fresh local produce combined with fast and friendly service. Mother and business partner, Cindy Henderson, offered her full support as she felt the concept was a perfect continuation of the family’s passion of the farming industry. With store #1 opening in Hammond, LA much more than a restaurant was brought to life.
It should come as no surprise that Scott was drawn to this industry. With roots planted deep - faith, food, family & farming is a way of life for us. Grandfather Joe Liuzza, the heart of the Henderson/Liuzza Family, was an ambitious young farmer who began his career in 1943 with only 20 acres and a dream. He planted the seeds to what has now grown into the largest strawberry farm in the state of Louisiana. Holding close to our family’s values, four generations later, the legacy lives on with The Salad Station Franchise.
Our Concept
Excellent customer service, family + farming atmosphere, fresh local ingredients, and the pay by the pound concept are a few qualities that make The Salad Station unique. We pride ourselves on the friendly, fun and fresh experience our guests have when visiting our stores. The “pay by the pound” concept is very different for many, but our guests love the fact that they are paying for exactly what they created. Every ingredient on their plate was placed with a purpose.
Service
#LettuceHelp Team: A group of team members that volunteer to promote good in the community. The group plans and participates in monthly events that directly serve people and organizations. We have had overwhelming success with events such as our Alzheimer’s Coupon Book Sales, Christmas Dinner Donation providing more than 25 families with a complete Christmas Dinner, and many more. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve through acts of kindness and donation. We continuously look for ways to reach out and get involved in the community.
