The health-focused fast-casual chain will open its first restaurant in Tennessee on 30 June in Nashville’s upscale Gulch neighbourhood.
The 2,755sq ft location will offer guests Sweetgreen’s signature salads, warm bowls, protein plates, wraps and sides. Visitors can order in-restaurant, online or through the Sweetgreen app.
Sweetgreen will celebrate the opening with a week of community activations at The Gulch, beginning with a grand opening event with giveaways, pop-ups and a wellness event with neighbouring fitness studio Barre3 and Lululemon to follow.
“Choosing where to grow is one of the most important decisions we make and Nashville was an easy one,” said Ryan Slemons, Chief Development Officer at Sweetgreen. “We’re not just opening a restaurant here; we’re investing in a community we believe in and planning to be a great neighbour for the long haul.”
To mark the Nashville debut, Sweetgreen is partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, a non-profit committed to ending hunger across the region. For every meal purchased on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a bowl to Second Harvest to nourish people experiencing food insecurity in the Nashville community.
