A national restaurant chain has chosen Carytown for its local market debut.
Sweetgreen, which serves salads and bowls and has more than 200 locations nationwide, is preparing to open its first Richmond-area location in the Carytown Exchange at 3502 W. Cary St.
The restaurant is taking one of the final suites in the Carytown Exchange with a 2,200-square-foot spot next to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, according to planning documents filed with the city in recent days.
It’s unclear when Sweetgreen hopes to open in Richmond. Spokespeople for the company weren’t available for comment by press time.

Sweetgreen will join a host of other national food chains at the Publix-anchored development, including Pure Green, Torchy’s Tacos, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Burtons Grill & Bar and Rise Southern Biscuits, the last of which is aiming to open this fall.
Only two suites totaling around 3,000 square feet remain available at the Carytown Exchange, according to a leasing flier from Thalhimer, whose brokers David Crawford and Jim Ashby handle leasing at the development.
Sweetgreen was founded in D.C. in 2006 and is now headquartered in Los Angeles. Among its hundreds of locations are 20 spots in the Washington, D.C./Northern Virginia area.
The company went public in the fall of 2021 but has struggled to post a profit since. It lost $26 million in the first quarter of 2024, according to SEC filings.
It salads and bowls are typically priced around $15.

With those prices, I can’t see why. Haha
It’s really good, I enjoy their offerings, a bit expensive but what isn’t these days.

This isn’t Facebooks comment section. Try over there.
Now get off my lawn.
This explains why I have been such a failure in business. If I lost 24 million dollars in the first quarter of a year, I’d be closing up shop, not looking to expand my losses.
$15 is too much for a salad, and then add on the city tax’s you’re closer to $20. Food prices are too high and nothing is being done about it.
I thought you all wanted a free capitalistic market… Or do you prefer the government begin to regulate business more? Perhaps force farmers to sell their goods for less? Maybe force workers into pay levels at the poverty line? Regulate CEO/exec pay? I’ve heard, people should pull yourselves up by the boot straps and get a better job and pay your own way and quit complaining. What say you?
I could not be more excited. When I am in Boston, I’ll go once or twice a week. The Chicken Pesto Parm spinach salad is on point!
On point?
Toast points, I’m guessing. Sounds delicious.
26 million in losses in one quarter,time to re-organize.
Or double the CEO’s salary and bonuses!
I like seeing your use of humor!
If they are already losing money, why are they opening more stores. Why don’t they figure out where the money is going? I’ll definitely try it though.
Richmond has enough restaurants. How about a national sports team, a casino, a theme park, something in this city besides warehouses and restaurants.
