The Los Angeles-headquartered fast-casual chain serves bowls that customers can tailor to their own appetite, including choosing from caramelized garlic steak, wild rice and other combinations. Sweetgreen has already opened eight new restaurants this year, including one in Santa Clara on June 10, Chris Tarrant, the chain's chief development officer, told USA TODAY in an email. On June 12, a location will open in Huntersville, North Carolina, he added. Here is what Sweetgreen fans need to know about the future locations coming to four new markets..

Sweetgreen's northwest Arkansas location will be in Fayetteville, as well as in Bentonville, at Walmart's home office campus, joining restaurants such as Ozark Mountain Bagel, Wright's Barbecue and multiple coffee shops. So far in 2025, Sweetgreen has opened the following locations: Pennsylvania: 1359 Frankford Ave. Suite 2, Philadelphia New Jersey: 221 East Broad Street, Westfield Connecticut: 110 Albany Turnpike, Suite 911, Canton Virginia: 3502 West Cary Street, Richmond and 4225 Fairfax Corner Ave. East, Fairfax Wisconsin: 418 N Midvale Blvd. Madison Michigan: 260 North Adams Road, Rochester Hills By the end of the year, Sweetgreen will have opened at least 40 new locations, Tarrant said.

Sweetgreen opened its pilot Infinite Kitchen store in May 2023 in Naperville, Illinois, promising quicker and more accurate service with precise portioning. The automated technology can perform tasks such as dispensing greens, dressing bowls and plates, as well as mixing salads.

Hedge funds weight up longer-term ownership of collapsed Healthscope
Major international hedge funds which now control large parts of Healthscope's $1.6 billion debt are not ruling out running the failed private health hospital as longer-term shareholders if they cannot find a buyer for the business, but are facing resistance from a big landlord. London's Polus Capital and Los Angeles-headquartered Canyon Partners own about 30 per cent of the debt owed by the country's second-largest private healthcare operator, which collapsed into administration earlier this month, leaving the long-term future of its 37 hospitals uncertain.

Casa Rica Tequila Announces Andrei McQuillan as Interim CEO to Drive Brand Growth and Cultural Relevance
LOS ANGELES, CA / / April 29, 2025 / Casa Rica Tequila is proud to announce the appointment of Andrei McQuillan as Interim Chief Executive Officer, ushering in a bold new era of creative innovation, cultural relevance, and strategic growth. A proven leader in branding and marketing, McQuillan brings deep expertise in building breakthrough consumer brands through visionary storytelling, distinct positioning, and immersive cultural experiences. As co-founder and Head of Marketing at Stillhouse Spirits Co. - acquired by Bacardi in 2019 - McQuillan built a reputation for transforming early-stage businesses into high-impact lifestyle brands. McQuillan's unique approach is rooted in his beginnings as a music manager under the mentorship of industry legend Benny Medina, where he guided the careers of global icons, including Jennifer Lopez, Brandy, and Ricky Martin. McQuillan applies the same philosophy of marketing a celebrity to building brands - focusing on authenticity, emotional resonance, and strategic creativity to drive exposure, engagement, and long-term growth. "Casa Rica is built on something truly special - unshakable authenticity, fearless branding, and a taste that's nothing short of extraordinary. As Interim CEO, I don't just see a brand - I see a cultural movement in the making," says Andrei McQuillan. McQuillan takes the helm at Casa Rica during a transformative time. The brand has quickly garnered attention for its collaboration with Maestra Tequilera Zandra Gomez of Agave Azul Distillery - one of the few women running tequila production in Mexico and an up-and-coming force in artisanal distilling. As Casa Rica matures under McQuillan's guidance, the brand strives to grow its cultural depth while expanding nationally through compelling content, partnerships, and experiences. "Andrei possesses an incredible combination of razor-sharp strategic insight and creative energy," said John D. Quinn, Owner of Casa Rica Tequila. "Under Andrei's leadership, as we embark on our next chapter, we're extending our reach and building a brand legacy like no other." From premium product positioning to breakthrough cultural moments, McQuillan will lead Casa Rica with purpose, precision, and passion, bringing the soul of tequila to a new generation of tastemakers. Many of McQuillan's achievements were built on a deep expertise with marketing and communications. McQuillan founded Higher Evolution, a Los Angeles-headquartered creative agency in 2019. It will be supporting Casa Rica, and the agency will continue to thrive with services ranging from strategic consulting to product packaging design. Explore Casa Rica Tequila Media Contact:John D.
