The health-eating focused fast-casual chain is entering a new state as it continues to grow its national footprint.
The company is set to make its Arkansas debut, opening a location in Fayetteville later this year. A second location will follow, at Walmart’s new home office in Bentonville.
Sweetgreen’s upcoming Arkansas sites are part of the company’s broader national expansion. Other new markets on the horizon for 2025 include Sacramento, California, Phoenix and Cincinnati, Ohio. The brand said it remains on track to grow its footprint by 15 to 20 per cent annually, with plans to open at least 40 new restaurants this year.
“Northwest Arkansas is quickly becoming a hub for innovation and growth and we’re excited to be part of it,” said Christopher Tarrant, Chief Development Officer at Sweetgreen. “Opening on Walmart’s forward-thinking New Home Office campus and in Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas, is a meaningful milestone for our brand and we’re looking forward to serving these communities with fresh, real food.”
