    A chain is born

    Vino for the greeno: Snappy Salads expands to Richardson and adds beer and wineto the menu

    Snappy Salads, the uber-healthy, environmentally conscientious, upscale salad spot that first opened on Preston Forest in 2006, is moving forward into mini-chaindom. On December 19, a branch will open in Richardson on Campbell Road, west of 75. It'll have Snappy's trademark fast-casual semi-buffet setup, upscale food options and eco-friendly stance.

    But it'll be the first Snappy Salads to sell beer and wine, says founder Chris Dahlander.

    "We'll have beer and wine by bottle and half-bottle," he says. "For all future stores, we'll hope to have beer and wine, and as we can, we'll retrofit our other stores too."

    "For all future stores, we'll hope to have beer and wine, and as we can, we'll retrofit our other stores too," says Snappy Salads founder Chris Dahlander.

    In addition to the founding branch, Snappy Salads also has locations at Northpark Center and in Plano.

    Dahlander was previously a director of marketing for Brinker International, where he got a view of how big, successful chains worked. But he wanted to do something different and healthy.

    The salads are made to order and represent a big step above the usual salad-buffet chain, using gourmet ingredients such as grilled salmon.

    The stores also toe a strict environmental line, with nontoxic paints, ecologically friendly packaging and recycled materials. The Richardson branch, which took over an old tae kwon do studio, is no exception.

    "The wood is reclaimed from a warehouse in Kentucky that was built in 1930s," Dahlander says. "We had the stools made special. For our first store, they were from Pottery Barn. But these use reclaimed wood. We use vintage mason jars for lighting fixtures, and the bathroom has vintage Dr Pepper bottles made into a chandelier."

    The location is prime material for Snappy Salads, he says.

    "I like the site because it seems to fit with our core audience, which is a predominantly busy person who has more money than time," he says. "We look for high daytime population in an area that has high-tech or white-collar people who like to eat out for lunch but are looking to eat healthier."

    Lunch is a slam-dunk, but the wine-and-beer component will be a draw at dinner, and Dahlander has chosen some distinctive options.

    "We'll carry Kenwood, either Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, and either Pinot Noir or Beaujolais," he says. "Those are vegan-friendly wines; they use diatomaceous earth instead of egg white as a filter. I'm excited about my beer too. We have Omission, a gluten-free beer that tastes like beer, and Xingu, a black beer from the Amazon. Every purchase sends money back to protect the rain forest. It's the perfect fit for us."

    A Southlake location will open in spring 2013, and Dahlander has his eye on a couple more locations in Dallas.

    "We'll be a chain pretty soon," he says.

    Crepe News

    Sweet Paris crepe chain folds in another Dallas location in Addison

    Sweet crepes are coming to Addison via Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, the Houston-based crêpes chain, which is opening a location in Prestonwood Place, at 5290 Belt Line Rd. #110, with doors expected to open in early 2026.

    Sweet Paris was founded in Houston in 2012 by Ivan and Allison Chavez with a mission to revive the art of eating crepes. There's a location in Southlake, which opened in 2024, and another in McKinney, which just opened in June. (There's also a location coming soon to Dallas' Snider Plaza.)

    The menu offers 20 crepes in varieties savory and sweet including dulce de leche, lemon & sugar, s'mores, chicken enchilada, Philly cheesesteak, and a vegan option with portobello mushrooms, black bean purée, corn salsa, and chipotle sauce.

    While crepes are the signature, they also serve waffles, egg breakfasts, panini, and salads. A "croque madame" crepe has scrambled eggs, gruyère, smoked ham, & béchamel sauce, while an Alaskan has smoked salmon, pickled red onions, capers, and scrambled eggs, topped with dill sour cream, & scallions. Everything is $20 or less.

    They also serve beer and wine, mimosas, milkshakes, espresso drinks such as lattes, and hot chocolate.

    This new location marks the third of four units to be developed by franchisee duo Ludo and Yi Le Gall.

    “We fell in love with Sweet Paris the moment we discovered it,” Ludo says in a statement. “Bringing this unique experience to Texans has been a dream come true, and we’re thrilled to grow our presence throughout the state with a new location in Addison.”

    Situated within Restaurant Row at Belt Line & Montford, Prestonwood Place includes hot hot restaurants like Mendocino Farms, Flower Child, Loro, Postino, Original Pancake House, and more. All it was missing was crepes. Now that niche has been filled by Sweet Paris, with crêpes, coffee, and charm.

    Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café has been growing and now has 21 stores in operation in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Mexico.
