Sweet Tomatoes is reopening soon in Arizona. Everything we know

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

Fans were heartbroken when Sweet Tomatoes announced in 2020 that the fast-casual restaurant chain would close all 97 of its locations across the country due to financial struggles brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The buffet-style restaurant offered an unlimited soup and salad bar as well as pasta, pizza, baked potatoes, fresh bread and fan-favorite brownies and soft serve for dessert.

Prior to the pandemic, Arizona was home to nine Sweet Tomatoes locations. Soon, it will see the return of at least one.

The chain announced that it is making a comeback and chose Arizona for the first re-launched location.

Where is Sweet Tomatoes reopening?

The reopening of Sweet Tomatoes in the former Sweet Tomatoes location at 6202 E. Broadway Boulevard in Tucson was originally projected for fall 2023, but that date was pushed back and the restaurant announced it will open April 1, 2024.

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.

There are currently no plans to reopen any other Sweet Tomatoes locations.
