Sarah Conrad

Sarah Conrad, owner of Clean Eatz Lake Norman, returns to The Best of LKN podcast to share updates on the brand’s expansion to five Charlotte-area locations — Cornelius, Mooresville, Charlotte, and Concord — and what’s new on the menu, from turkey burnt ends to lobster mac & cheese and a fan-favorite ramen dish. 

She also opens up about the risks of opening the Concord location post-COVID, how Clean Eatz serves the local NASCAR community through catering, and why stepping away from her phone during her daily runs has become one of her most important habits as a business owner.

The conversation centers on Sarah’s newest community initiative, Women of Strength — a 26-week campaign running January 4 through July 4, 2026, in which Clean Eatz gives away 26 free meals each week to a nominator and their nominee. By the end of the campaign, Sarah will have logged 676 miles and Clean Eatz will have given away 676 free meals. 

To nominate an inspiring woman in your community, email sarah@cleaneats.com or visit Clean Eatz on social media for the text submission line. The halfway point celebration lands on March 8 — International Women’s Day.
