Braverman is in the process of opening Golden Life Adult Day Health Care as part of the property and believes that resuscitating the Souplantation brand in La Mesa would be beneficial to his clients and the community. La Mesa resident Dmitry Braverman has leased the former Souplantation location on Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa and will revive the concept using previously-released and copycat recipes, as well as having the assistance of some former Souplantation staffers. Souplantation executives later confirmed our report was true after multiple outlets picked up our story. There were at least eleven Souplantation locations in San Diego County when the company abruptly ended its run in 2020. In May 2020, we at SanDiegoVille broke the news that all Souplantation restaurants (and sister concept Sweet Tomatoes) had laid off more than 5,000 employees across the country and would not be reopening any locations due to uncertainty for the buffet restaurant sector in the face of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. In 2016, the company filed for bankruptcy and shuttered dozens of outposts, but 97 locations remained. The eatery grew to over 130 locations over the years, with all those located outside of California named Sweet Tomatoes.
After growing to two locations with the help of friends, Jay sold the pair of buffett-style eateries to Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp in 1983. A former San Diego Souplantation location taken over by a new owner will reopen this July.įounded in San Diego over four decades ago, the first Souplantation restaurant was opened by founder Dennis Jay in 1978 on Mission Gorge Road in San Diego.
