Mendocino Farms, colloquially shortened to Mendo, and formerly Mendocino Farms Sandwich Market,[5] is a fast casual restaurant chain based in the Western United States mainly selling sandwiches and salads. The company uses earth-grown and nonmodified ingredients, sourcing them locally.[1][4] Private equity firm TPG Inc. holds a majority stake in the company.

The restaurants themselves are mainly designed by John Kim, who uses eco-friendly materials to create a country aesthetic.[6]
