Sweetgreen Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) is celebrating the 18th anniversary of its iconic Guacamole Greens salad with a special promotion for SG Rewards members. On August 1, 2025, members can receive free avocado with any entree purchase through the app, website, or in-store.

The Guac Greens salad, featuring roasted chicken, grape tomatoes, crisp greens, tortilla chips, and avocado with lime cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette, has been a customer favorite since the company's founding in 2007. Originally called "Guac Deconstructed," the salad was inspired by co-founder Nicolas Jammet's desire to reinvent guacamole as a healthy dish.

Starting from a single 560-square-foot restaurant, Sweetgreen built its supply chain through local farmer relationships at the Dupont Circle Farmers Market in D.C., many of which continue today.

Sweetgreen (NYSE: SG) has scheduled its second quarter 2025 financial results announcement for Thursday, August 7, 2025, after market close. The company will host a webcast at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss business performance and financial results.
