Sweetgreen opening in Woodbury | Long Island Business News

Sweetgreen will open a new location in Woodbury on Tuesday. 

The 2,885-square-foot restaurant is located in the Woodbury Village shopping center at 7969 Jericho Turnpike. It is the chain’s second Long Island restaurant, following one at 191 Seventh St. in Garden City that opened last month. 

The Woodbury restaurant will accommodate 28 diners inside and will include a large seasonal patio. Sweetgreen commissioned Aliyah Salmon, a New York-based multidisciplinary textile artist, to create a series of four art pieces to be displayed at the new location. The chain will highlight the artist’s work with an opening-day party featuring live music and customer giveaways. 

In addition, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Island Harvest for every meal sold on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The chain offers a menu focused on salads and bowls and currently features a fall menu, including a Curry Cauliflower Bowl and Buffalo Cauliflower side dish with regionally sourced cauliflower from upstate New York’s Turek Farm. 

Publicly traded Sweetgreen was founded in 2007 when it opened its first restaurant in Washington D.C. and now has more than 160 locations. On Long Island, Sweetgreen has another signed lease for a third Long Island restaurant in Manhasset and is working on several other locations in the area. 

Brian Schuster and Tom Rettaliata of RIPCO Real Estate represented Sweetgreen, while landlord Staller Associates was self-represented in the Woodbury lease transaction.
