Tampa’s latest Sweetgreen will celebrate its grand opening today, Tuesday, March 28.
The 2,300 square-foot restaurant is located at 722 S Village Cir., adjacent to other Hyde Park Village hotspots like Meat Market, Forbici Modern Italian and newly-opened bubbly bar Bouzy.
A press release says that for every meal sold today, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Feeding Tampa Bay, a local nonprofit dedicated to stopping hunger across 10 counties.
More grand opening day festivities include flowers from Posies flower truck, photo booth souvenirs from Dreams2Reality and a free sweet treat for the kiddos.
The Los Angeles-based fast casual chain boasts a menu of loaded bowls, protein-packed salads and seasonal, rotating offerings. Popular dishes include its a bowl packed with miso root vegetables, blackened chicken and warm wild rice, alongside its beloved “Super Green Goddess” salad with kale, spinach, black lentils and roasted almonds.
Many options on Sweetgreen’s customizable menu are vegan and gluten-free friendly, too.
Tampa Bay’s debut Sweetgreen opened in Tampa Heights last year, while a third location is planned for St. Pete’s Edge District at 1114 Central Ave., although there’s no official opening timeline.
