The sandwich and salad chain Mendocino Farms Sandwich Market is planning to open a new location in Mill Valley, according to a liquor license application. The newest location will open in 745 E Blithedale Ave. in the Alto Center shopping plaza anchored by a Whole Foods.
Originally opening in 2005, the Los Angeles-based sandwich chain has locations in five states. Primarily concentrated along the West Coast, Mendocino Farms operates in California, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Illinois, with a forthcoming location in Scottsdale, Arizona. There are currently 15 locations operating in Nor Cal alone, with a 16th location also on the way, set to open in Dublin in February.
Mendocino Farms offers a rotating menu of salads and sandwiches, focused on fresh, season ingredients, its website describing its food as a “unexpected culinary adventure.” Offering customizable options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diners, popular menu items include its vegan banh mi, “not so fried” chicken sandwich and chimichurri steak and bacon sandwich. Many of Mendocino Farms’ locations also offer catering services.
Mendocino Farms has yet to announce a timeline for the upcoming Mill Valley location.
