Massive Sweetgreen Opens In Georgetown

GEORGETOWN, DC — The biggest Sweetgreen yet has opened at 1044 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Georgetown. The restaurant spans over 2,200 square feet and features two levels of indoor seating with 46 seats, outdoor patio space and parking, according to a press release.

This location is nearly 1,700 square feet larger than the chain's original location on M Street, which opened ten years ago this August.

Sweetgreen was founded in 2007 by three Georgetown students. The now-nationwide chain has 25 stores within the DMV. The company describes itself as a destination for “fun, delicious food that’s both healthy for you and aligned with your values."

The new store pays tribute to Georgetown with the school's skyline painted on a wall upstairs with the words "Hoya Saxa" printed on a neon cursive sign.

This Sweetgreen will also host weekend farmer's markets and partnered with FreshFarm, which will hold a farm stand from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday in the Sweetgreen parking lot off of Grace Street at 1044 Wisconsin Ave.

The farm stand will feature locally grown items from Jason Gross of Hillside Meadow Farm, which is a fourth generation, family operated farm in Glenville, Pennsylvania, according to the Georgetown Business District.

Hillside Meadow Farm owns 137 acres of woods, pastures and tillable ground. They market all of their products at various Farmer's Markets throughout Maryland and Virginia. Residents can expect a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, along with pasture-raised, antibiotic free and hormone-free meats including beef, lamb and chicken.

FRESHFARM is a non-profit that encourages sustainable agriculture and improves food access across the Mid-Atlantic Region.

The new Sweetgreen's hours are 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
