Salad Republic opens in London

Salad Republic, described by Indi Cooray as a ‘culinary sanctuary’, has a focus on freshness and healthy eating options demanded by today’s food-conscious consumers.

Cooray and co-founders Soley Hal and Chanaka Hal are tapping into the food lifestyle trend with their first Salad Republic store, which will open its doors on Monday November 4, on Trump Street in Bank.

The trio have invested almost £250,000 into the business, which will be open weekdays between 10am-3.30pm and will create 15 new jobs.

Humble beginnings 

Salad Republic has been inspired by a personal story of battling excess weight and health issues by 37-year-old Cooray and his co-founders.

Redemption has been found in the by creating a food haven where quality, health and freshness have not been sacrificed for convenience.

Speaking on the opening, Cooray said: “We have chosen to open our first Salad Republic in Bank because of its high density of office workers, who are after lifestyle foods – and our salads will meet this need.

“We are aware there are competitors, who have shown there is an appetite for salads, but we are different to any competitors. We have thoroughly researched ingredients to offer a wide range of options, while the store will also offer ‘grab and go’ sushi, which will be a signature theme.

“Our salads are affordable, given the quality and freshness and range of ingredients. As well as locally sourced we also use some of the best ingredients from around the world. The variety on offer also makes us stand out.”

Customers are invited to take advantage of its 50% off opening launch offer. For convenience, ‘click and collect’ orders can be placed online or through its soon-to-be-launched app, while it has also partnered with Deliveroo.
