About

Cava is a Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain built around customizable grain bowls, pitas, and salads featuring bold Mediterranean flavors, fresh vegetables, and house-made dips and spreads. Founded in 2006 by three Greek-American childhood friends — Ted Xenohristos, Ike Grigoropoulos, and Dmitri Moshovitis — as a restaurant in Rockville, Maryland, Cava grew by first selling its hummus and harissa products in grocery stores before expanding its restaurant footprint. The company went public on the NYSE in June 2023 at a $2.5 billion valuation.
