For those seeking nutritious, flavorful meals that go beyond the usual fast-food fare, Cava continues to make its mark.
The Mediterranean-inspired fast-casual chain is expanding quickly, with more than 60 new restaurants expected to open in 2025.
Whether you're already a fan or just discovering the brand, there's a good chance a new Cava may be coming to a city near you.
Cava ended 2024 with 367 restaurants across 26 states and Washington, DC, and its momentum is only building.
After opening 58 locations last year, the company plans to add more than 60 in 2025, with a long-term goal of reaching 1,000 locations by 2032.
Recent entries into markets like South Florida and Indianapolis mark the beginning of a strategic push into the Midwest and beyond.
A second urban location in Indianapolis is already on the schedule for later this year.

Several of Cava’s new locations have already opened their doors this year, offering convenient access to the Mediterranean-style bowls, pitas, dips, and dressings the brand is known for.
So far, new 2025 locations include:
Each restaurant offers a menu built around whole ingredients, customizable options, and balanced meals—perfect for anyone seeking healthier choices without giving up convenience.
For many older adults and health-conscious diners, the Mediterranean diet has long been praised for its heart-healthy benefits, focus on fresh produce, and lean proteins.
Cava’s menu is a practical way to enjoy these benefits without spending time in the kitchen.
The company’s growth also reflects a broader shift in the food industry—more fast-casual restaurants are focusing on quality, transparency, and global flavors that meet evolving customer preferences.
