Controversies
In 2023, the CEO of Sweetgreen, Jonathan Neman, weighed in on the Gaza war protests at universities, saying he'd like to know the names of students involved in the protests so that Sweetgreen does not inadvertently hire any signers of perceived anti-Israel petitions signed by students.
Lawsuits
In April 2023, Chipotle Mexican Grill sued Sweetgreen claiming that its trademark has been violated. As a result Sweetgreen changed the name of its burrito bowl “as part of a tentative agreement to resolve the lawsuit.”
