Washington D.C.-based salad chain Sweetgreen will open its first Georgia location next week at Ponce City Market.
The restaurant will be located at 650 North Ave. NE in the 2,900 square-foot space within the Atlanta mixed-use development that was previously home to Brezza Cucina, which closed last year.
The menu will feature core and seasonal salads, bowls, plates and sides, in addition to an Atlanta-exclusive blackened catfish bowl. Sweetgreen will source ingredients and products from several local businesses including Allison’s Honey, Calyroad Creamery, Kemboocha, Genuine Georgia and New Communities.
The Sweetgreen space will feature a large-scale piece commissioned by Honey Pierre, an artist with TILA Studios, a visual arts incubator that elevates Black female artists.
Founded in 2007, Sweetgreen has locations in several other states including New York, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California.
Two additional locations are set to open in Atlanta by the end of the year.
Sweetgreen will offer free delivery for the first two weeks when ordering through its mobile app. In addition, the first 50 customers on opening day will receive a local bouquet of flowers from Nourish Botanica, and for every meal sold on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Our House, an organization that works to end the cycle of homelessness in metro Atlanta.
Store hours are 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
