Sweetgreen is officially up and running in the Richmond market.
The national fast-casual restaurant chain, which serves salads and grain bowls, last week opened its first location in the region at 3502 W. Cary St. in Carytown.
It scooped up one of the final suites in the Carytown Exchange, next to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams and women’s fashion boutique Monkee’s.
Sweetgreen joins a swath of other national food chains at the Publix-anchored development, including Nothing Bundt Cakes, Burtons Grill & Bar, Pure Green, Torchy’s Tacos and Rise Southern Biscuits, which is slated to open this spring.
Local Sweetgreen management declined to share whether the company is looking to open more Richmond locations. Representatives from Sweetgreen did not respond to a request for comment by press time.

The 2,100-square-foot Carytown location will accommodate up to 24 diners inside and up to six on an outdoor patio, Sweetgreen said in a release.
Sweetgreen’s salads and bowls, which include ingredients like grains, salmon or steak, are typically priced around $15. The company recently unveiled its new “ripple fries,” air-fried in avocado oil.
Sweetgreen was founded in D.C. in 2007 and is now headquartered in Los Angeles. The company went public in 2021.
Among its 250 locations are 20 spots in the Washington, D.C./Northern Virginia area. A new location in Fairfax Corner is expected to open later this month.
Thalhimer brokers David Crawford and Jim Ashby handle leasing for the Carytown Exchange.
Sweetgreen is open daily in Carytown from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Oh goody! Another national chain coming in to continue the diminution of Carytown’s
eclectic hometown vibe. It will fit in well with all of the Soviet style apartment blocks that are going up all over town as fast as they can build them, which look cheap yet are unaffordable.
This does nothing to undermine carytown – it’s in the new publix development that is west of what existed. It’s an addition, not a subtraction.
I find this a not very serious take on things, I’m very happy this is there. Even though I’m unlikely to use it.
And bland homogenization of an iconic neighborhood marches on to satisfy the bland, homogenized speculators…
