Long-awaited return of Sweet Tomatoes restaurant announced. Here's how to go opening day

Update: Sweet Tomatoes is now open. Meet the fans who were first in line.

The wait is finally over. Sweet Tomatoes announced Wednesday, Mar. 20 that the fast casual restaurant will be open in Tucson on April 1.

It will be the only Sweet Tomatoes restaurant in the country after the brand shuttered all stores nationwide in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ST Three LLC purchased the intellectual property rights and chose to reopen the Tucson location because it was the most popular location in the state.

"I think there's pent-up demand for it," Mike Malone, the new chief operating officer of Sweet Tomatoes, told The Arizona Republic in 2023.
