Sweetgreen, a popular fast-casual chain known for its fresh salads and bowls, is set to open its first location in downtown Detroit, marking the sixth spot in Michigan. The new restaurant will be situated at One Campus Martius building and promises to bring Sweetgreen's take on healthy, real food to the heart of the city.
According to Chris Tarrant, Chief Development Officer at Sweetgreen, "Detroit has an undeniable momentum right now, and we're honored to be part of it." He added that the company looks forward to connecting with regional suppliers like Zingerman's Creamery and Riverridge Produce. This commitment to local sourcing reflects Sweetgreen's dedication to serving fresh ingredients in its menu items.
The Detroit location will celebrate its grand opening from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9, featuring special collaborations with local businesses such as Bon Bon Bon for sweets and Earthy Botanical Mobile Bar for warm drinks. One Custom City, a local apparel company, will also be present with live screen printing activities.
As part of its grand opening, Sweetgreen has pledged to donate one meal to Detroit's Forgotten Harvest charity for every meal purchased during this event. This commitment highlights the company's efforts to give back to the community while serving high-quality food.
With six locations now in Michigan, Sweetgreen looks forward to expanding its presence in Detroit and contributing to the city's vibrant food scene.

it's like every company just gives out free stuff and expects us to get all excited 
anyway back to sweetgreen, good on them for trying to give back with that charity donation, but can't they just post a decent salad menu on the forum instead of all this fluffy intro mumbo jumbo 
it's been 3 days and we still don't know what even comes in their salads 
I'm so stoked for Sweetgreen to bring their fresh vibes to downtown Detroit! It's awesome that they're committed to local suppliers, it'll be great to see those regional businesses thrive too. The collaboration with Bon Bon Bon and Earthy Botanical sounds like a match made in heaven. And donating a meal to Forgotten Harvest charity is the icing on the cake

I think it's awesome that Sweetgreen is opening up shop in downtown Detroit! 
It's great to see them giving back to the city through that charity donation, too. The fact that they're acknowledging Detroit's "undeniable momentum" is pretty cool - it shows they're on board with the city's vibe and willing to adapt to what works best for its people.
