sweetgreen Raises $478.6M to Cultivate a Real Food Revolution and Healthier Communities

sweetgreen is excited to announce a major milestone in our journey to inspire healthier communities and revolutionize the way people connect with real food.

Today, we proudly share that we have raised $478,600,000 to further our mission of transforming the food landscape and empowering communities across the nation.

As a destination for real food, sweetgreen is built on the belief that our daily food choices have a lasting impact on the communities we serve.

With each sweetgreen location, our commitment shines through—from our meticulous sourcing of whole produce delivered fresh that very morning to our emphasis on meeting farmers before we meet landlords.

Every step of our process, from seed to store, reflects our dedication to quality and community, ensuring that every plate served is a step toward a healthier future.

This funding round significantly bolsters our ability to expand our footprint, with plans to open new locations in emerging markets and invest in innovative models that strengthen our connection to local neighborhoods.

With over 220 locations already serving communities across PA, MA, DMV, NY, CA, IL, TX, CO, and FL, and a team of more than 5,000 dedicated individuals who embody our core values daily, we are poised for rapid growth.

This investment will further empower our team to create lasting impacts by fostering community partnerships, developing future leaders, and ensuring that every future neighbor transitions into a friend.

As we embark on this exciting next chapter, our promise remains clear: to serve real food, nurture local communities, and constantly evolve in ways that honor our mission and the trusted relationships we share with our partners and customers alike.
