Sweetgreen joins&nbsp;electric-truck makerRivian AutomotiveInc.,sneaker makerAllbirdsInc.and software makerBrazeInc.in producing big gains on their first day of trading this month.<blockquote>这家沙拉连锁店的股价收于49.50美元，完全稀释后对尚未盈利的Sweetgreen的估值超过60亿美元。Sweetgreen加入了电动卡车制造商Rivian Automotive Inc.、运动鞋制造商AllbirdsInc.和软件制造商BrazeInc.的行列，在本月交易的第一天就获得了巨大收益。</blockquote> Sweetgreen co-founder and Chief Executive Jonathan Neman said Thursday that Sweetgreen intends to use much of the new investment to open new U.S. locations. “The major focus is continuing to expand our footprint into as many communities as possible,” he said in an interview.<blockquote>Sweetgreen联合创始人兼首席执行官Jonathan Neman周四表示，Sweetgreen打算将大部分新投资用于在美国开设新的分店。“主要重点是继续将我们的足迹扩展到尽可能多的社区，”他在接受采访时表示。</blockquote> Founded in 2007 by three 22-year-olds, Sweetgreen is a fast-food restaurant brand with 140 restaurants across 13 states and Washington, D.C. The company has built a supply chain around more than 200 domestic food partners, such as bakers and farmers, to source its ingredients.<blockquote>Sweetgreen于2007年由三名22岁的年轻人创立，是一个快餐店品牌，在13个州和华盛顿特区拥有140家餐厅。该公司围绕面包师和农民等200多家国内食品合作伙伴建立了供应链，以采购其原料。</blockquote> The company is coming public as the competitive restaurant industry continues to feel the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has rattled supply chains, raised labor and product costs, and kept people out of offices, akey source of trafficat Sweetgreen’s urban locations during lunch hours.<blockquote>该公司上市之际，竞争激烈的餐饮业继续感受到Covid-19大流行造成的干扰。疫情扰乱了供应链，提高了劳动力和产品成本，并使人们远离办公室，而办公室是Sweetgreen市区午餐时间的主要交通来源。</blockquote> Sweetgreen’s profit margins and average sales per restaurant took a hit during the pandemic, the company’s pre-IPO filing showed. The chain reported a restaurant-level profit margin of 12% this year through Sept. 26, down from 16% in 2019.<blockquote>Sweetgreen的IPO前文件显示，在疫情期间，该公司的利润率和每家餐厅的平均销售额受到了打击。截至9月26日，该连锁餐厅的利润率为12%，低于2019年的16%。</blockquote> Mr. Neman said Sweetgreen is adding more stores in suburban areas, which have generally done better during the pandemic as more people worked from home. The company has invested in technology to help with its to-go and online sales.<blockquote>Neman先生表示，Sweetgreen正在郊区增加更多商店，随着越来越多的人在家工作，这些商店在疫情期间总体表现更好。本公司已在技术上投入资金，帮助其外卖及网上销售。</blockquote> “We really used the crisis in a lot of ways to reset,” he said.<blockquote>“我们确实在很多方面利用了这场危机来重置，”他说。</blockquote> Sweetgreen plans to open at least 30 company-owned restaurants in the U.S. this year, and roughly double its total number of locations over the next three to five years, it said in the filing.<blockquote>Sweetgreen在文件中表示，计划今年在美国开设至少30家公司所有餐厅，并在未来三到五年内将其餐厅总数增加一倍。</blockquote> Mr. Neman and co-founder Nathaniel Ru served as co-chief executives from 2009 through December 2017, when Mr. Neman took the helm solely.
