    Sweetgreen is one of five new tenants at the newly redeveloped Manhasset Row. The project from Manhasset 1577 LLC, an affiliate of Jericho-based , began about five years ago aiming to reimagine a strip of stores between 1575 and 1595 Northern Blvd. The developer removed part of the building to add more parking and reposition the property for its new tenants. 

    Formerly occupied by Sleep Number, Investors Bank, Mayweather Boxing + Fitness, Mystique Boutique and Destination Maternity, only the bank, now Citizens Bank, remains. Besides Sweetgreen, the new Manhasset tenants will include a 1,765-square-foot , Visual Comfort, a 3,247-square-foot designer lighting showroom, a 2,249-square-foot Joe & The Juice and a 1,670-square-foot Laser Away studio. 

    Patrick Breslin of CBRE represented T-Mobile, Brian Schuster of RIPCO Real Estate represented Visual Comfort, RIPCO’s Jason Sobel represented Joe & The Juice, Michael Miller of The Shopping Center Group represented Laser Away and Schuster and his RIPCO colleague Tom Rettaliata represented Sweetgreen. Sobel and Schuster represented the landlord, Manhasset 1577 LLC, in all of the Manhasset Row lease transactions. 

    “We started working with the original owners in 2019 and almost seven years later, it is incredibly gratifying to finally see the finished product. Kudos to the developer for having the fortitude to see it through,” Schuster told LIBN. “Manhasset Row sits in the heart of the ‘Miracle Mile’ which is among the most desirable and sought after retail markets in the entire New York metropolitan area. Given the location and the high-end aesthetic, which is so difficult to find on Long Island, no doubt this project will be a tremendous success.”  

    The Sweetgreen in Manhasset, which offers salads, warm bowls, protein plates and sides, will celebrate its opening day by giving its first 150 guests seasonal chocolates from Lazar’s Chocolate, apple cider donuts from Jericho Cider Mill and mini-Thanksgiving bouquets from Hometown Flower Company. In addition, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Island Harvest for every meal purchased on opening day. 

    Publicly traded Sweetgreen was founded in 2007 when it opened its first restaurant in Washington, D.C. and now has about 250 locations throughout 19 states and the District of Columbia. The company reported 2024 revenue of $677 million.

    Joe & The Juice, a global chain of cafés, is coming to Long Island. 

    The Denmark-based chain has leased locations in Woodbury and Manhasset, where it will debut the concept here. 

    Joe & The Juice, which primarily offers coffee, juice, shakes and sandwiches, is in the midst of an aggressive expansion. The first Long Island location will be the 2,769-square-foot store in Woodbury Town Plaza at 8025 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury, formerly the long-time home of Gabby’s Bagels. 

    The company will also open a 2,249-square-foot eatery in the new Manhasset Row at 1579 Northern Blvd. in Manhasset. Both will open next year.

    “We’re so excited to bring Joe & The Juice to Long Island,” Jorrie Buffett, managing director at Joe & The Juice U.S. told LIBN. “It’s a community full of energy and personality, and we can’t wait to share our fresh juices, smoothies, and famous sandwiches while creating a space where people love to come together.” 

    Founded in 2002 by Kaspar Basse, Joe & The Juice started with a single café & juice bar in Copenhagen. After expanding into other Scandinavian locales with the help of Swedish private equity firm Valedo, the company had more than 200 locations by 2017, including its first U.S. store on Spring Street in Manhattan. 

    Another private equity firm, General Atlantic, invested $641 million to acquire a majority stake in Joe & The Juice in 2023, according to published reports. 

    By the end of 2024, Joe & The Juice had more than 382 locations throughout Europe and Asia, including 65 stores in North America. 

    The first one to open here will likely be Woodbury.

    “The synergy between fresh juices and here Hot Yoga and Strength next door was the reason we went with Joe & the Juice to replace the iconic Gabby’s,” said Larry Weinberger of MGD Investments, which owns the Woodbury center. “We had offers from a few wonderful brands but this was a natural marriage. I think it elevates the entire Woodbury community.” 

    Joe & The Juice features an eclectic menu of flatbread sandwiches, including the popular Tunacado, with avocado, tuna mousse, tomato and vegan pesto; the Phat Joe, with chicken, turkey, grana padano, avocado, tomato and honey mustard dressing; and several more. 

    The drinks at Joe & The Juice include shakes like Trust Your Gut, a blend of kefir, strawberries, fibre booster, banana, date puree, beetroot powder and Sproud milk (plant-based milk); Chocolate Flex, with raw cacao, banana, date puree, collagen and whey protein, Sproud and ice; and more. 

    The juice blends at Joe & The Juice feature Green Tonic, with kale, celery, cucumber, olive oil and ice; Iron Man, with apples, strawberries, kiwi, olive oil and ice; and many more. Other offerings include breakfast bowls, pastries, and snacks. 

    Jason Sobel of RIPCO Real Estate represented Joe & The Juice in the Woodbury and Manhasset leases. Derek Weinberger served as in-house representative for the landlord, MGD Investments, in the Woodbury lease, while Sobel and his RIPCO Real Estate colleague Brian Schuster represented the landlord, Manhasset 1577 LLC, in the Manhasset lease transaction. 

    After these first two locations, Joe & The Juice will be expanding further on Long Island. 

    “Both sites were strategically selected to serve active, -forward communities, with strong synergies among co-tenants that promote wellness, balance, and convenience,” Sobel said. “We are seeking additional Long Island locations.”
