Columbus, Ohio — On Sept. 4, 2024 national restaurant brand Sweetgreen opened its first-ever restaurant in Ohio, located near Columbus.
Ahead of the opening, Sweetgreen’s co-founder and chief executive officer, Jonathan Neman, had this to say: “We can’t wait to open the doors at our flagship Ohio restaurant in this lively Columbus neighborhood. With local ingredients sourced from across the Midwest, we’re excited to bring the Sweetgreen flavor to Columbus’ iconic food scene. It’s been a long time coming, and we are so grateful to the Columbus community for embracing us with open arms!”
With each new restaurant opening, Sweetgreen teams up with a local partner to give back to the community. For this location, Sweetgreen has partnered with Mid-Ohio Food Collective to help fight food insecurity in Central Ohio. For every meal purchased on opening day, Sweetgreen donated a meal to the Mid-Ohio Kitchen at the Reeb Center to provide nourishing meals to Central Ohioans.
Located at 700 North High St., the 3,605-square-foot space accommodates up to 46 diners and features an open kitchen concept that allows guests to visualize scratch-made food prepared daily. Additionally, Sweetgreen’s expansion into Ohio builds on the brand’s network of trusted suppliers and growers in the region, of which will be displayed on the restaurant’s source board in support of the brand’s effort to redefine menu transparency.
Since opening its first 560-square-foot location in 2007, Sweetgreen has scaled to over 230 locations across the United States. For more information, visit www.sweetgreen.com.
