Cava (restaurant)

Cava (stylized as CAVA), also referred to as Cava Grill, is a Mediterranean fast casual restaurant chain with locations across the United States. Cava is owned by the publicly traded Cava Group, which purchased Zoës Kitchen in August 2018. The combined company is the largest restaurant operator in the Mediterranean category in the U.S. restaurant industry. Cava also produces a line of Mediterranean dips, spreads, and dressings that are sold in grocery stores across the US. As of May 2023, all Zoe's Kitchen restaurants have been closed; many have been replaced by Cava restaurants.
