\nThe new 3,160-square-foot restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and feature sweetgreen’s signature menu of chef-crafted salads and warm bowls, protein-forward plates, and handheld wraps. In addition to fan favorites like the Crispy Rice Bowl and Miso Glazed Salmon, guests can explore sweetgreen\u2019s newest menu innovations, including its lineup of wraps, which bring the brand\u2019s signature ingredients into a more portable format, and the limited-time Fall Harvest menu, featuring the seasonal-favorite Autumn Harvest Bowl, a new Maple Glazed Salmon plate and Roasted Bacon Brussels side.<\/p>\n

\nsweetgreen\u2019s menu is built around fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, prepared daily in an open kitchen. Each restaurant features a source board highlighting the farmers and growers behind the food. In Salt Lake City, sweetgreen is partnering with Nicholas and Company<\/a>, a nearly fourth-generation, family-owned foodservice distributor, to help bring ingredients from our growers and suppliers to the Sugar House restaurant.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOpening our first sweetgreen in Utah is an exciting step for the brand as we continue to thoughtfully grow into new markets,\u201d said Ryan Slemons, Chief Development Officer at sweetgreen. \u201cSugar House is a natural fit for us, with a strong community and a lifestyle that aligns closely with the way our guests think about food and wellness. We\u2019re excited to establish a presence in Salt Lake City and build a long-term relationship with the community as we grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Sugar House restaurant will feature a large-scale original work by multidisciplinary artist Jason Hackenwerth<\/a>, whose practice spans painting, sculpture and installation. Hackenwerth previously created the artwork for sweetgreen\u2019s St. Petersburg Edge District restaurant, one of the largest paintings featured in any sweetgreen space. Given the scale of the wall in Sugar House, the team immediately thought of Hackenwerth and his ability to create work that responds to and transforms a space. The new piece was painted acrylic on canvas and will be installed directly on the wall, creating a bold focal point within the restaurant. Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, Hackenwerth has exhibited internationally and is a recipient of the 2011 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, the 2018 and 2022 Creative Pinellas Professional Artist Grants, and the 2024 Palladium Theater Creative Fellowship.<\/p>\n

\nGrand opening festivities kick off Tuesday, September 8, and continue through the week with a lineup of local and Utah-based partners:<\/p>\n
