About this episode

LIVE from sold-out Boston… we sat down with 2 of the 3 co-founders of Sweetgreen. In this sitdown, Jon & Nic explain how 2 years after college, they booked The Strokes for a salad music festival, eventually landing Kendrick Lamar (for salads!). Sure, Sweetgreen stock is down 80% from its post-IPO all-time highs, but they’ve bet a comeback on a $12 custom-wrap tortilla that took a full year to build. And they’ve figured out how to keep employees longer by hiring robots (the “Infinite Kitchen”). Jon & Nick reveal the ROI on the wraps, why the $20 salad rep is undeserved, and how the founders rank taste/health/sustainability as marketing tactics.
