Richmond, Va. — On March 18, Sweetgreen opened its first Richmond, Va., location in Carytown. The 2,162-square-foot location marks another milestone as Sweetgreen’s 250th restaurant.
“Sweetgreen was founded just a couple of hours from Richmond with the goal of bringing communities together through fresh, high-quality food,” says Jonathan Neman, co-founder and CEO of Sweetgreen. “We’re honored to carry that mission forward in Carytown, partnering with local businesses and serving delicious meals made with real ingredients. Opening our 250th location here makes this moment even more special, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with the Richmond community.”
Since its founding in Washington, D.C., in 2007 and expansion across the DMV, Sweetgreen continues to partner with local farmers and growers to bring guests real, delicious food. Sweetgreen’s Carytown location will feature goat cheese from FireFly Farms, one of the brand’s first suppliers and longest partnerships born out of the Dupont Circle farmers market in D.C.
“We have been a partner of Sweetgreen for 16 years, and are thrilled to bring our farm-fresh goat cheese to the Richmond area. At FireFly Farms, we prioritize producing high-quality, delicious cheese from fresh milk, and we can’t wait for the Richmond community to enjoy the perfect pairing of our goat cheese with Sweetgreen’s signature flavors,” says Mike Koch, co-founder of FireFly Farms.
The Carytown space will accommodate up to 24 diners inside and six diners on the restaurant’s patio. For pickup or delivery options, customers can visit order.sweetgreen.com, or download the Sweetgreen app.
Since opening its first 560-square-foot location in 2007, Sweetgreen has scaled to 250 locations across the United States. For more information, visit www.Sweetgreen.com.
