Bedford residents have something fresh to celebrate! Chopped Leaf, the fast-casual restaurant known for its delicious and nutritious salads, wraps, and bowls, has opened its first location in the community. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, feeding the family, or looking for feel-good food on the go, Chopped Leaf offers something for everyone — made fresh, just the way you like it. It's a new option for locals who care about eating well without sacrificing flavour or convenience, and a great new stop for hungry travellers to and from Halifax, with easy access from the highway.

“Bedford felt like the perfect place for a Chopped Leaf. It's an up-and-coming, health-oriented, family-friendly community with an appetite for fresh, local and sustainable dining,” said Mayank Patel “With the growing awareness of healthy living, I know that our focus on quality ingredients and vibrant flavours will resonate with the people of Bedford. Our convenient, customizable salads, wraps, and grain bowls make Chopped Leaf a perfect option.”

To celebrate the new location – which is the second in the province, the community is invited to a special Grand Opening event being held on Thursday, September 25 – from 10am-9pm at the new restaurant located at 1475 Bedford Hwy. A Grand Opening ribbon cutting will kick off the day at 10:00 am with other special activities including a draw for exciting prizes, a catering contest, and giveaways of gift vouchers and other merchandise.

“We want to get to know our customers and ensure that every experience is a positive one,” Mayank added. “There are a lot of commercial businesses and offices nearby, so I think our inclusive menu – with vegan and vegetarian options – and our convenient packaging – will make catering very popular."
