Sweetgreen Chief Development Officer Departs Amid Company's Slower Expansion Plans

Sweetgreen's chief development officer, Chris Tarrant, is leaving the company due to personal reasons. His departure comes amid slower expansion plans and weaker trading, including a 9.5% same-store sales decline in Q3. Sweetgreen is now aiming to open 15-20 new locations this year, down from a previously projected 37. The company has not posted a profit since going public and is selling its kitchen automation technology to preserve cash.
