After 11 years in business, a Richland restaurant specializing in smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches and more has closed. 

Fresh Leaf Co. originally launched in Kennewick before setting up shop at 1080 George Washington Way, Richland, in 2021. The restaurant shared a strip mall with Porter’s Real Barbecue in the property owned by Vandervert Developments. 

The business announced plans to close Dec. 26 via Instagram.
