The health-driven fast-casual restaurant will serve its first customers on Sept. 23 in Scottsdale Quarter near Greenway Hayden Loop and Scottsdale Road. The 2,515 square-foot restaurant will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
A Phoenix location on Camelback Road and 32nd Street will open later this fall. That restaurant is located in a portion of the former Tomaso’s on Camelback.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Sweetgreen to Arizona and become part of the vibrant communities in Scottsdale and Phoenix,” co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman said in a press release announcing the openings.
Sweetgreen was launched in 2007 with a focus on serving fresh, healthy food with the efficiency and scalability of a tech company. Today it has more than 250 restaurants nationwide, including its pilot robotic kitchen, dubbed the “Infinite Kitchen,” in Naperville, Illinois.
Sweetgreen’s seasonal Harvest Bowl is one of the restaurant's fan-favorite items, featuring chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, apples, goat cheese, roasted almonds, wild rice, shredded kale and balsamic vinaigrette.
The chain’s menu also includes kale caesar and buffalo chicken salads as well as “Protein Plates” that put meats such as garlic steak or miso-glazed salmon at the center, atop a bed of wild rice.
As part of the Scottsdale opening celebration, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to St. Mary’s Food Bank for every meal sold on Sept. 23.
