Most Crisp & Green offerings are in the $10-$14 range. But I've always known the uniqueness of this culture and the spirit of our people."įor 25 years Smiley led the largest fitness franchise chain in the world, with 2,500 locations around the world under several different brands. "They've long considered us flyover country. Smiley said coastal brands have tended to ignore the Upper Midwest. Never did I imagine it would grow to the size it is now." "It started as a dream and a place for me, my friends and my neighbors to finally have access to healthy food on the go.
Smiley, a lifelong wellness entrepreneur, started the restaurant to fill a void in his own lifestyle. I think the best brands are always going to attract talent because they treat people well, pay them well and have a great work atmosphere. "I think (the staffing shortages is) a fictitious problem. We've been fully staffed at all locations when we open," he said. "We employ at least 50 people at each location. While many restaurants have struggled to find employees, Smiley said they've had no problem. "We'll partner with different fitness facilities and pay the instructor to do the sessions." It gives people a chance to try some new things," he said. It's a great way to connect to the community and they're all complimentary. "We host outdoor activities in the summer at our restaurants. Throughout the past five years, Crisp & Green has hosted more than 1,000 fitness events nationwide.

Smiley said they have a "Commitment to Community" brand pillar that focuses on free exercise classes. But I've always believed everyone who wants to eat and live healthy should have it available and it shouldn't just be available for big cities." If you are looking for a new healthy option to try out, I would absolutely recommend Crisp & Green."Typically smaller cities wouldn't get this kind of offering or would have to wait 10 years. The food met my expectations and had great employees to set a standard for other restaurants and franchises. Overall, the location is glowing and can make almost anyone excited to try out a salad, especially with all of the unique options they have. Next time I will definitely have to try another salad to get another perspective on all of the options Crisp & Green provides. Because of my minor issue with the salad, I would give it a 9/10. My only complaint with the salad was that the dressing was a bit spicy to my liking, but overall the rest of the salad overrode my minor complaint.
I was pleasantly pleased with the great flavors in the salad and managed to eat the whole salad before heading back to school. The location also has healthy lemonades, smoothies and teas instead of a common fountain pop machine and of course the option of water. As I went to pay, the salad cost $15.50, which probably sounds like a lot of money for just some dressed up lettuce, but I must admit the price was worth the taste. The salad included arugula, mixed greens, citrus shrimp, orange slices, daikon radish, napa cabbage, carrot, basil, mint, cilantro, peanuts, lime squeeze and thai peanut dressing. I decided to get a “THAI & STOP ME” salad because I love Asian Cuisine and anything that involves shrimp. To order my food I approached the counter and had a friendly employee ask what I would like. I was intrigued by the white and green color palette of the whole inside and lit-up words with positive sayings on the walls. Right as I walked in, I noticed the simplicity of the atmosphere managing to make the location bright and welcoming. I decided to go over my lunch period, as it is located in the Western Mall on 41st, so it was a fast enough trip from school to have time to enjoy the food. This week I decided to give it a try after hearing multiple friends’ positive thoughts and feelings on the food and atmosphere. The Crisp & Green food chain, known for its salads and grain bowls, opened in Sioux Falls on July 17, 2021.
