Restaurant serving salad, smoothies and grain bowls to open after Labor Day

Crisp & Green, a Minnesota-based fast-casual restaurant specializing in salads, grain bowls and smoothies, will open in Harmony Commons, 3581 E. Harmony Road, on Saturday, Sept. 10.

This is the fast-casual franchise's second location and features signature and build-your-own salads and grain bowls, smoothies and acai bowls to meet a variety of dietary preferences.

Crisp & Green takes over the former ACT Pilates location at Harmony Commons.

The franchise is locally owned by Fort Collins franchisee Andrew Rauch.

“We’re trying to bring a very strong presence to Fort Collins, and Colorado in general, which we think is an excellent market, a great fit for our brand and our offering," Rauch said in a news release.
