Highlights

Sweetgreen opened its third Phoenix-area location Tuesday at the Paradise Valley Marketplace shopping center, completing a sub-12-month Arizona buildout for the Los Angeles-based salad and bowl chain. The 2,300-square-foot space sits at 10810 N. Tatum Blvd., Suite 105B, near the intersection of Tatum and Shea boulevards.

The north Phoenix opening follows back-to-back Arizona debuts last year: a first location at the Scottsdale Quarter shopping center and a second at 32nd Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix, where Sweetgreen took over the former Tomaso's Italian restaurant space. As the Phoenix Business Journal reported, the Paradise Valley opening was confirmed well ahead of Tuesday's ribbon-cutting.

The chain, founded in 2006, is treating the opening as a community event. The first 75 guests in line Tuesday received a free entrée along with complimentary smoothies and candles; for every meal purchased on opening day, Sweetgreen is donating a meal to St. Mary's Food Bank. Promotions continue Thursday, May 28, with free succulents and prickly pear lemonade samples from AZ Lemonade Stand, and wrap Friday, May 29, with a photobooth by Montage, a coffee pop-up from Hef's Haus, and free sweet treats.

The Paradise Valley location is one of 18 stores Sweetgreen plans to open nationally this year. Concurrently, the company is closing underperforming stores to streamline its footprint.

Who is behind the Paradise Valley Marketplace location?

Sweetgreen is the operator; the chain is headquartered in Los Angeles and trades publicly. The shopping center address at 10810 N. Tatum Blvd. also lists two active Arizona LLCs, Winlee Scottsdale LLC and Primegate Lion LLC, registered at Suite 102-200 of the same building, though their connection to the Sweetgreen tenancy is not established in public records.

The soft opening is complete; the full operating schedule runs Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., per the chain's locations page.
