Passyunk Ave.), which just debuted its Center City location (1225 Walnut St.); Loving Hut, the all-vegan operation at 742 South Street; Freshii, which should open soon in the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton; and Pure Fare, the high-tech/healthy cafe we just told you about yesterday. Now comes word that Sweetgreen, a three-year-old healthy/environmentally friendly concept from three Georgetown grads, will open at Ardmore's Suburban Square (68 Coulter Ave.) this Wednesday, Dec. 15.

This will be the eighth overall location for the Sweet Green brand; the rest are in the D.C. metropolitan area.
