Parker is getting a taste of Korea's salad boom. Salady — billed as South Korea's largest salad franchise, with more than 300 stores — is coming to Parker as the Korean chain expands across the United States.
The restaurant is building out a space at 9700 S Parker Rd, Suite 700, in the Parker Gateway Marketplace, a retail center it shares with Starbucks, Einstein Bros Bagels, and Car Toys. The buildout is underway, though no opening date has been announced yet.

What Is Salady?
Salady started in 2013, when two college students opened a small restaurant in a back alley of Seoul at a time when the idea of salad as a main meal was still novel in Korea. It grew into a chain of more than 300 stores and is now bringing its Korean-style approach to healthy eating to the U.S., where it's franchising and expanding.
The concept treats salad as the main event rather than a side, with made-to-order, Korean-inspired bowls and online ordering. You can browse the current U.S. menu at saladyusa.com; we'll confirm the Parker store's full offerings closer to opening.
