DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) – A health-focused fast-casual chain that serves customizable bowls and salads will soon open a location in Dublin.
Roots Natural Kitchen will hold a grand opening at 7048 Hospital Drive on Saturday, when the brand will offer 40% off all meals and allow customers to enter merchandise giveaways, according to a news release.
The new restaurant will mark the chain’s third location in Ohio. The state’s first eatery debuted at 10 E. 15th Ave. near Ohio State University in 2022, and a second launched at 808 Grandview Ave. in Grandview Heights in May.
Roots Natural Kitchen allows customers to build their own bowls, with a base of rice, grains or greens. Customers can add a variety of vegetables, meats, tofu, beans, nuts and dressings, such as pesto vinaigrette or miso ginger.
The eatery also has premade options on the menu, including a pesto Caesar salad and a Southern bowl, featuring rice, kale, chickpeas, roasted broccoli, charred corn, lime-pickled onions, cheddar cheese, barbecue tofu and lemon tahini dressing.
The chain was founded in Virginia in 2015 and has since grown to a total of 17 locations across Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware and West Virginia. The brand is “passionate about making natural food radically accessible,” the news release said.
Roots Natural Kitchen in Dublin will offer dine-in, pickup, delivery and catering services. Its hours will include Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., along with Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
