Additionally, Greens  and Grains is working with MBB Management to open as many brick and mortar restaurants as possible in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. Nicole Jacoby, the restaurant’s founder and owner, states “We’re going to still stay focused on Philadelphia and try to max out… and then expand elsewhere.”

Greens  and Grains opened its first location in 2015 in Ventnor City. The restaurant currently has five locations in Camden, Atlantic and Monmouth county, with two more locations coming to Wall Township and Mays Landing.
