Greenlane is taking over Tampa, or at least just opening a second drive-thru in the area. The purveyor of crunchy salad bowls and the perfect lunchtime wraps has announced it’s opening a new location at 2055 N Dale Mabry. This will join their current drive-thru at 4495 West Gandy Boulevard. An opening timeline is still TBA. The restaurant will also open a drive-thru in St. Pete.
Breaking ground today at 2115 N Dale Mabry Highway, this new Greenlane location comes in at nearly 2,000-sq.-ft. and will feature a double-lane drive thru. Located in the heart of many businesses, neighborhoods, shopping centers, sports facilities and more, this will be the brand’s flagship location, providing healthy, made-to-order meals.

“Following the success of Greenlane’s debut in Tampa, we are thrilled to continue growing our brand and serving customers in the region with these new locations,” said Christopher Burch, Founder of Greenlane. “Built with the consumer and their goals in mind, Greenlane is designed to fill a hole in the market and bring fast, fresh and filling meals to people at prices they can afford. We want to meet our customers where they need us, and we hope to accomplish that through the development of these new locations.”
In addition to amazing salads, the drive-thru has just recently added soft-baked pretzel sticks to the menu, as well as strawberry lemonade slushies. More menu staples: 
- Creamy Caesar: Choice of chicken or tofu, grape tomatoes, shaved parmesan, mini croutons, creamy caesar dressing, on a bed of romaine lettuce
- Golden Greek: Choice of chicken or tofu, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, kalamata olives, mini croutons, red wine vinaigrette, on a bed of romaine lettuce

Expanding further into the lively and densely populated St. Pete area, Greenlane will also find a new home at 8001 4 th Street N., St. Petersburg. This 1,200-sq.-ft. location will boast a distinctive drive-thru enclosure. Both new locations will be drive-thru and pick-up only — similarly to all Greenlane locations— to provide quick convenience. The new builds will feature eye-catching architecture and also offer innovative drive-thru elements unique to the brand.
Healthy drive-thrus opening throughout the region in 2024
Greenlane is currently developing five more locations in the Greater Tampa Bay Area, including sites in Brandon, Largo, Temple Terrace and Odessa. Following the launch of the Dale Mabry and 4 th Street locations, the brand plans to open more than three new locations in 2024. Greenlane will continue to grow in the Tampa Bay market with five or more locations planned to launch each year, as well as additional locations planned in Central and South Florida.
Greenlane is a concept by Christopher Burch, founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital. Chris has been an entrepreneur and active investor across a wide range of industries for nearly thirty years including Tory Burch, Voss Water, BaubleBar, and Nihi Sumba boutique resort.
