Sweetgreen continues to bring healthy food at scale in Chicago with a new concept restaurant coming to Schaumburg, located at 1320 N. Meacham Rd.
The company has at least nine locations throughout Chicago, recently announcing new locations coming to Evanston and Oak Park. The mission-driven restaurant is getting ready to introduce its latest development, “sweetlane,” a drive-thru lane to increase convenience for digital customers. Guests will still find sweetgreen’s best-in-class in-store experience but now will have the option to place orders in advance exclusively through sweetgreen’s digital platform. There is no set opening date for this new location, replacing chicken shop PDQ.
Sweetgreen is already a digital leader, with almost 50% of total revenue in 2021 coming through orders placed on sweetgreen’s mobile app or website. The space will also feature a round observation window for customers in their cars to watch the fresh prep as they pick up their orders, bringing the in-store experience to our digital drive-thru customers. Pick-up orders may also be placed inside the restaurant, where dine-in service will be available.
“We are always innovating to provide more convenience for our customers, which is why we’re excited about our first sweetlane concept in Schaumburg,” said sweetgreen Co-founder and Chief Concept Officer Nicolas Jammet. “Digital customers are our most habitual users, and we believe this new format will provide us with more options to connect people to real food.”
