It all started from a conversation between a father and his son back in 2008, both who have a passion for bringing fun and unique ideas "to the table".  It was from this conversation that this idea of creating and starting a restaurant that specializes in made to order salads first came about.   It was only a casual conversation that they both often had on business ideas and as it was further discussed that day the beginning of Mixed brand started to form; even though they both didn't know it at that time.  

After thinking and pondering on this concept for a few weeks the idea stuck and wouldn't leave the mind of Mixedowner, creator, and Sioux Falls native Cole Shawd.  Cole knew that this was something he was interested in and would love to open so he could offer these fast and fresh healthy salad options that are hard to find in most markets.  Cole knew his area and city fairly well and thought what better of a place to start this concept then Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  He knew he wanted salads to be the restaurants specialty, but offering other items like wraps, soups, and paninis would provide other great tasting varieties to the customers of Mixed. 

From the very beginning Cole wanted the Mixed concept and brand to be about the total experience, start to end and front to back - leaving nothing behind.  From the great tasting healthy menu to the colors and atmosphere in the restaurant, things would be fresh and different with Mixed.  Cole also wanted Mixed to be "green" on what they offered and "green" on how the restaurant performs.  This is why Mixed is a Green Business Bureau Platinum Member and stays true to their strict green practices everyday with the restaurant's operation.  

When you come into Mixed Restaurant it's about feeling great about WHAT you eat and WHERE you eat.  It's the total experience for yourself on eating a meal that's healthier for you along with helping out the world you and all of us live in by just coming to see us.  That's just part of what "going green" at Mixed is all about!
