report posted to the DOH website confirmed both the expired business license and the new sink requirement. During a visit Aug. 19 inspectors identified four critical and seven non-critical violations at sweetgreen Georgetown. Since one of those violations was an expired business license, the shop was closed until a new license was secured. 

Sweetgreen announced on Twitter that the Georgetown location had re-opened around noon Wednesday.

"Hey georgetown - good news! we're back open for business with a shiny new sink and all," the official Twitter account tweeted

A spokesperson for sweetgreen told Patch that they passed inspection Wednesday morning.
