sweetgreen, will open its highly anticipated first Michigan location in Birmingham, the 170th location for the restaurant brand. Guests can visit the new location at 167 North Old Woodward Avenue, a community that is enriched with local pride and holds a deep appreciation for healthy, sustainable food options. sweetgreen aims to bring the Metro Detroit community a restaurant that passionately believes in connecting people to real food.

The Birmingham opening will be followed by two additional Michigan restaurants – in Ann Arbor on the University of Michigan campus, and in Troy, both slated to open this fall. sweetgreen sources only the highest quality ingredients, with fresh produce delivered each morning for its seasonal menus, which rotate five times throughout the year. Michiganders can expect to see a number of locally sourced products including goat cheese from Zingerman's Creamery and sweet potatoes from Visser Farms. The brand also partnered with Detroit-based artist Ellen Rutt to commission artwork for the Birmingham restaurant's interior.

For every meal sold on opening day, sweetgreen will donate a meal to Forgotten Harvest to help nourish Metro Detroit's food insecure. sweetgreen will also celebrate its grand opening day in Birmingham with sweet treats from beloved local food purveyor Zingerman's Bakehouse, all day surprise and delight giveaways for guests, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony starting at 4 p.m. with words from the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce.
