A national fast-casual restaurant chain known for serving fresh salads, bowls, and other dishes is getting ready to open in downtown Detroit.
Sweetgreen is set to open its first Detroit location and sixth in Michigan in the One Campus Martius building downtown.
“Detroit has an undeniable momentum right now, and we’re honored to be part of it,” said Chris Tarrant, Chief Development Officer at Sweetgreen. “We can’t wait to bring our take on fresh, real food to the heart of downtown and continue building these meaningful connections with regional suppliers like Zingerman’s Creamery and Riverridge Produce.”
The restaurant plans to celebrate a grand opening from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9 featuring local partners including sweets from Bon Bon Bon and warm drinks by Earthy Botanical Mobile Bar. Local apparel company One Custom City will also be on hand with live screen printing.
The company has pledged to donate one meal to Detroit’s Forgotten Harvest charity for every meal purchased during its grand opening.
The new store is located at 1020 Woodward Ave., Detroit.
Founded in 2007, Sweetgreen also has Michigan locations in Ann Arbor, Arbor Hills, Birmingham, Rochester Hills, and Troy.
