In its most recent round of investment funding, D.C. based Sweetgreen raised $35 million and plans to expand its locations and messaging, WaPo
reports. The salad chain has been a sensation since opening in Georgetown eight years ago and has since opened restaurants in Boston, New York and Philadelphia and L.A.
In addition to opening 11 more restaurants by the end of the year, funds will go toward technology advances to enhance the customer experience and branding to raise awareness on healthy eating.
The round was led by T. Rowe Price, with existing investor Revolution Growth.
