Sweetgreen is an American fast casual restaurant chain founded in 2007 by three college students seeking a healthier way to eat. The company operates over 285 locations across eight states in the United States, employing more than 5,000 team members.

All proteins, grains, and vegetables are cooked with extra virgin olive or avocado oil, and the company does not use artificial flavors, colors, or dyes.
