Sweetgreen Bethesda & Bethesda Green

May 11, 2009

To celebrate Sweetgreen’s first day open in Bethesda, we decided to donate our proceeds from lunch to our new friends at BETHESDA GREEN.  Since sweetgreen is a Green Certified Restaurant by the GRA, we are excited about partnering with Bethesda Green on many cool projects! Here are some pictures from the opening day lunch rush!

sweetgreen dupont grand opening party

April 8, 2009

The sweetgreen team celebrated the grand opening of our second store in Dupont Circle this past week. We were joined by friends and family from LA, NYC, Dallas and DC (thank you to all who came out to support!). We started the night at sweetgreen and the transformed adjacent space, with a cocktail party and salad/yogurt tasting. Organic vodka was provided by Reyka (mixed by our friends over at Honest Tea) and our friend Kirk Wiles donated some unbelievable wine from his new winery Paradise Springs. To really get the party going we flew out DJ Grant Shapiro from LA to spin at the event.
