Summary

Chopt is a Rye Brook, New York fast casual salad brand headquartered at 800 Westchester Ave, Suite N-321, and is part of Founders Table Restaurant Group which is its parent company. Friends Tony Shure and Colin McCabe opened the first Chopt in Manhattan in 2001, bringing a chopped-salad approach to busy urban lunch crowds with globally inspired flavors built on fresh greens and house-made dressings. The founders grew the brand from its New York City roots into suburban neighborhoods and new metro markets. The company develops its menu in-house with rotating seasonal salads and warm bowls, and it supports both company growth and franchise development. Its footprint runs from the Northeast corridor through the Mid-Atlantic and into the Southeast, with a smaller presence in the Midwest. Restaurants are fast casual and serve lunch and dinner with made-to-order chopped salads, grain bowls, wraps and plates, with digital ordering and pickup traffic. Typical units seat about 20 guests in roughly 1,000 square feet with compact counter-service shops designed for quick lunches, takeout and catering.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.

The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.

Verify Our Data Methodology

  • Foundation: Active state business registries form the primary backbone of every record.
  • Sources: Publicly available filings throughout, including public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
  • Integrity: Zero proprietary third-party databases utilized.
  • Verification: Entity/concept records are validated at the source by our in-house research team.

Leveraging Human-Verified Connections

  • Collection: Filings and public records are gathered through intake procedures.
  • Verification: In-house researchers review every record before it enters the database.
  • Ownership Chain: Where relationships can be established, researchers work upward from a concept headquarters or single concept through parent, grandparent, and ultimate parent, resolving operators into one connected structure.

Maintaining the Longitudinal Record

  • Duration: Continuous tracking since 1997. Twenty-nine years of unit-level history.
  • Method: Same methodology applied across the full period so year-over-year comparisons hold.
  • Change Tracking: Openings, closures, ownership transfers, and operator consolidation are recorded as they occur, not backfilled.
  • Result: Expansion and contraction trends visible over decades, not snapshots.
