More than 60 additional restaurants are to be opened by the company in 2025 after opening 58 new locations in 2024.
The company operates in 26 states and in the District of Columbia, which ended 2024 with 367 Cava restaurants. The company is aiming for 1,000 locations nationwide by the year 2032, as it relayed its plans to USA TODAY.
Cava’s most recent growth initiatives also include getting into new markets in South Florida and Indianapolis. And also plans for more openings in Detroit and Pittsburgh are scheduled for later in 2025.
