Tampa Bay's salad-lovers and fitness fanatics been waiting over a year its first Sweetgreen—and they only have a few weeks left.

According to its Google page Tampa Heights’ Sweetgreen (stylized "sweetgreen")—adjacent to Armature Works at 301 W Palm Ave.—will grand open on Tuesday, Dec. 13. An employee from The Pearl apartments, which Sweetgreen is located on the ground floor of, confirmed next month’s opening date as well.

The “Starbucks of salad” is known for its build-your-own bowls, loaded with healthy ingredients like roasted salmon  brussels sprouts, quinoa, blackened chicken, sweet potatoes, sesame tofu, wild rice, arugula and much, much more.

Sweetgreen’s menu is divided into warm and cold bowls, and will also offer Florida-specific options. The chain is known for highlighting seasonal ingredients and teaming up with local farmers in whatever area it's in.

When the Tampa Heights Sweetgreen was announced earlier this year, permit-obsessed Tampa Tomorrow stated that the restaurant would open out of a 2,711 square-foot space and include a large outdoor patio.

Locations in Hyde Park Village and downtown St. Pete are also on the way, although Tampa Bay’s other upcoming Sweetgreens are listed as “coming soon” on its website with no official opening timelines. St. Pete’s Sweetgreen will debut at 1114 Central Ave. while Tampa’s second storefront is headed to 722 South Village Circle.
