Mixt Greens

MIXT (previously Mixt Greens) is a fast-casual restaurant that specializes in chef-crafted salads, grain bowls, market plates and sandwiches sourced from local and organic ingredients. The company was founded in 2005[1] in San Francisco by Andrew Swallow, a fine dining chef and cookbook author,[2] his sister Leslie Silverglide, an entrepreneur with a master's degree in sustainability;[3] and her husband David Silverglide, a technology executive.[4]

In 2009, MIXT was acquired by an international private equity firm Inventages, a life-sciences, nutrition and wellness-focused venture capital fund formed with the support of Nestlé. In 2012, the company was re-acquired by founders David and Leslie Silverglide, with plans to expand the concept nationwide. In 2016, the company renamed the concept 'MIXT,' dropping the 'Greens'.[5] As of 2022, MIXT operates 14 locations across California, Arizona, and Texas.[6]
