2. Lemonade: A modern take on the cafeteria
Based out of Southern California, Lemonade puts a modern twist on the cafeteria experience. This fast casual pays homage to its roots by offering a seasonal menu of California-inspired comfort foods made in-house daily. Its specialty is a pot roast sandwich.
With a bright and colorful environment and nutrition-focused menu items, Lemonade aims to target consumers who have an on-the-go lifestyle but make an effort to eat healthy. The chain has traditionally been located in Southern California, but has since expanded north with a location in San Francisco.
