Johnson City woman brings salad franchise to Tri-Cities

Diane Taveau plans to open a Saladworks franchise in Johnson City and hopes to broaden the national chain’s reach in the Tri-Cities.

Johnson City resident Diane Taveau is bringing Philadelphia-based Saladworks to Tennessee marking the brands entrance into the state. She has signed a 3-unit deal for the Tri-City region (Bristol, Johnson City and Kingsport). Diane was a frequent visitor at Saladworks when she was living in Philadelphia. Her first location in Johnson City plans to open by October 2020.
