Sweetgreen introduced digital pickup then, and followed with its B2B “Outposts” in 2018. This is something that stretches back nine years. But “owned digital” was 46 percent (versus 75 and 56 percent, respectively, in the year-ago period). While deciphering pandemic results often feels like trying to breathe on the moon, there are underlying currents Sweetgreen feels point to sustained growth.įor one, its total digital revenue percentage in 2021 was 67 percent. It swung a net loss of $153.2 million last year.

Sweetgreen expects revenue from $100 million to $102 million in Q1 and margins of 10–11 percent (the chain projects margins of 16–17 percent for the full year). Average-unit volumes upped to $2.6 million from $2.2 million and restaurant-level margins were 13 percent, rebounding from negative 4 percent in 2020. Same-store sales climbed 25 percent compared to negative 26 percent, year-over-year. Sweetgreen’s revenue last year of $340 million was a company high mark, and an increase of 54 percent from 2020. Sweetgreen CFO Mitch Reback believes this class will achieve year-two revenues targets between $2.8 million and $3 million. Atlanta (three stores) and Dallas (one) represented fresh trade areas. This follows a fiscal 2021 that saw 31 restaurants open, despite pandemic delays and setbacks, comprised of 13 urban, 18 suburban, and one residential location. Year-to-date so far, the company brought six restaurants to market and entered San Diego for the first time. In 2022, Sweetgreen expects to open at least 35 new venues, including landing in two to three new markets alongside infilled growth. Neman said the chain is on track to double in the next three to five years, and sees clear runway for 1,000 locations by the end of the decade. The brand’s November IPO is going to deliver answers quickly, executives said Thursday in Sweetgreen’s first quarterly report as a public company. What this mission looks like at scale, or as co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman says, can Sweetgreen become “ the category-defining food brand of our generation?”-are questions still on the table. The fast casual ended 2021 with 150 stores. Yet this remains a young story for a brand created 15 years ago by three college friends in a 560-square-foot Washington, D.C.

I recommend blending in a high power blender like a Vitamix (more on that below) but good results can be achieved with other blenders, you may just need to blend a little longer, use fresh instead of frozen ingredients, or just accept a little more texture in the final mix.Since 2014, Sweetgreen has grown fivefold across the country. These ingredients are easy to find any time of the year, either fresh or frozen. Note: This recipe works just as well with frozen spinach in place of the kale. I find the freezing changes it flavour enough that it is almost undetectable in smoothies.

If you can’t find frozen Kale in the store, just buy (or grow) fresh, then wash, destem it, and freeze. Using frozen kale is the trick to it’s milder flavour. I find it gives me a pick me up and a real energy boost! This simple green smoothie is packed with nutrition, and tastes like a sweet treat so kids love it! This is one of my daily go to’s for a quick smoothie that often gets shared with the family. Getting the goodness of greens into your child or tweens diet can be a real battle, it’s even a challenge for us parents, often opting for a quick snack or sugary drink to tide us over.
