The Countdown Begins: Sweetgreen Opening in Short North Next Month

Get ready to welcome a fresh, new addition to the Short North scene. That’s right, the wait is almost over – Sweetgreen is officially opening its doors in early September! According to Google, the big day is set for September 4, so mark your calendars.

You might be wondering, “What’s all the hype about a salad place?” Well, Sweetgreen isn’t just any salad joint. It’s a game-changer in the fast-food world. Located at 700 N. High St., in the spot where Monarch Cocktail Lounge used to be, Sweetgreen is bringing its mission-driven, health-focused concept to our beloved Short North.

So, what makes Sweetgreen so special?

Sweetgreen takes the idea of fast casual service to a whole other level. They offer fully customizable salads and warm rice bowls, packed with seasonal, fresh, organic, regenerative, and locally sourced ingredients. It’s like a dream come true for anyone looking to eat clean without sacrificing flavor or convenience.

Sweetgreen has built quite the cult following across the country, and for good reason. Their commitment to transparency, cooking from scratch, and building a community around real food is truly inspiring. They’re on a mission to reimagine fast food, making it healthier and more sustainable. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to be part of that movement?

Sweetgreen isn’t stopping at just one location in Columbus.

While they’re just a few weeks from opening the Short North spot, they have big plans for further expansion in 2025 around Columbus. So, if you fall in love with their salads (and we bet you will), you’ll be seeing more of them around town soon enough.

“We’ve been blown away by the excitement and welcome the community has already extended to us, and we can’t wait to give Columbus a taste of Sweetgreen,” Jonathan Neman, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sweetgreen, said in a press release. “The team is ready to serve this vibrant community with the quality and convenience that has become synonymous with Sweetgreen.”

Whether you’re a health nut, a foodie, or just someone looking for a new lunch spot, Sweetgreen is definitely worth checking out. Their menu offers something for everyone, and the best part is, you can customize your meal exactly how you like it. From fresh greens to warm grains, tasty toppings to delicious dressings, the possibilities are endless.
