Tampa's Greenlane opens in Wesley Chapel
The Gronk-famous drive-thru salad restaurant Greenlane opens today in Wesley Chapel. Why it matters: It's the fifth location for the Tampa chain that launched in 2023, and more are on the way. 💭 Kathryn's thought bubble: It's also reasonably priced (salads start at $6.99), fresh and actually good. That's based on the [redacted] number of times I've been to the St. Petersburg location since it opened in 2024. State of play: The new 1,200-square-foot location is on the north side of State Road 54, west of the outlet mall. It'll be Greenlane's first location with a mobile-only order lane, per a news release. Dig in: The menu has 10 salads that can also be served as wraps with dressing options including chipotle ranch, Greenlane goddess and maple balsamic vinaigrette. Among the other offerings are snack boxes for kids and adults, and cookies. Kathryn's recs: I've mainly stuck with the salads and wraps and keep coming back to the Creamy Caesar, Golden Greek and Harvest. What's next: The new location will hold a grand opening on March 10, during which customers can get any salad or wrap with chicken or tofu for $6.
