The national stir-fry and salad chain honeygrow is continuing to nurture its Northern Virginia presence.
Honeygrow opened its fifth restaurant in the region today (Friday) at Old Keene Mill Shopping Center in West Springfield. Located at 8426 Old Keene Mill Road, the 2,500-square-foot space can be found on the Planet Fitness side of the strip mall, in between Massage Envy and Visionworks.
“We opened our first honeygrow in Virginia in 2018, and we’re thrilled to continue our expansion in the region,” honeygrow founder and CEO Justin Rosenberg said in a press release. “The Springfield location marks a milestone for the brand as our fifth in the state, with two more on the way this year.”
Founded in Philadelphia in 2012, honeygrow is a fast-casual chain that serves made-to-order stir-fry noodle and rice bowls, salads, and dessert cups with fruit, granola and other toppings.
The company now has more than 50 locations in the northeast and Midwest, including ones in Reston, Tysons, Fair Lakes and Hybla Valley at Mount Vernon Plaza.
Last month, Rosenberg confirmed that honeygrow has signed a lease for a storefront at Barcroft Plaza in Lincolnia, and another restaurant is in the works at Fair City Mall in Fairfax City, the shopping center’s landlord previously told FFXnow. Both of those locations are slated to open this year, according to honeygrow.
At Old Keene Mill Shopping Center, honeygrow joins a slew of new tenants added over the past year, including the hot chicken chain Crimson Coward, McAlister’s Deli, Zip Cleaners, Kanji Sushi, European Wax Center and Trader Joe’s. South Block is expected to open there later this year.
According to honeygrow, the West Springfield opening coincides with the addition of several seasonal spring offerings to the menu. Rolled out earlier this week, the dishes will be available for a limited time.
More on honeygrow’s menu from the press release:
The fast-casual is cranking up the heat with the return of Serrano Chili Stir-fry with freshly made egg white noodles, tossed with roasted shrimp, bell peppers, red onions, snow peas, and broccoli, all coated in a fiery serrano chili sauce. Guests can indulge in something sweet with the Key Lime honeybar with a tangy Key Lime cheesecake filling, juicy strawberries and blueberries, and a graham cracker crumble. Topped with whipped cream, it’s the ultimate refreshing treat to pair with a savory stir-fry or salad.
honeygrow’s menu is completely customizable, allowing guests to create their dishes with a protein of choice, whether it be steak, chicken, shrimp, turkey meatballs, tofu, or egg, paired with nutritious, freshly made egg white noodles, protein-packed whole wheat noodles, gluten-free rice noodles, or a salad base of curly kale, romaine, or arugula. With a diverse selection of sauces, dressings, add-ins, and garnishes available, including an assortment of veggies, fruits, cheeses, chili crisp, and roasted garlic, every order is a culinary adventure. And for those with a sweet tooth, honeygrow offers its signature honeybar, a dish loaded with fresh fruit, various sweet toppings, and drizzled with one of three honeys to satisfy dessert cravings.
