Sweetgreen will open its first North Carolina location in Uptown Charlotte on Monday, Sept. 30.
Why it matters: The fast-casual salad chain has a devoted following. It's one of those popular national chains that Charlotteans have long clamored for.
Driving the news: The grand opening celebration will be Sept. 30 from 10am-1:30pm at 101 North Tryon St., in the same building as Monarch Market.
- There'll be a live DJ, sorbet from Golden Cow Creamery, hats from Girl Tribe Co. and Sweetgreen mugs.
- For every meal purchased on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, a local nonprofit that helps people experiencing food insecurity.
What to expect: The 2,479-square-foot space will be similar to other Sweetgreen locations. It'll serve creative salads and bowls, many of which are made with locally grown produce.
- Sweetgreen's North Carolina debut will come with a limited-time menu, including new air-fried maple glazed Brussels sprouts, sweet and potatoes sides, and an "Autumn Harvest Bowl," which all come with locally sourced ingredients from Goat Lady Dairy and Watkins Farms.
If you go: Pickup and delivery orders can be made online or through the Sweetgreen app.
- It'll open Monday-Saturday from 10:30am-10pm and Sunday from 10:30am-8pm.
What's next: Charlotte will get a second Sweetgreen in Huntersville's Birkdale Village in 2025.
