It will be open daily from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The day before doors officially open, CAVA will invite the neighborhood to come in for community lunch - a tradition that started with the very first restaurant opening back in 2011, but is rooted in the heritage of the founders.

"Sharing a meal was part of our culture and how we welcomed our new neighbors growing up," said Co-Founder Ted Xenohristos.

The community will be able to join CAVA for free lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and free dinner from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. prior to opening day.

Xenohristos and his co-founders Ike Grigoropoulos, and Executive Chef Dimitri Moshovitis started CAVA in an effort to bring modern, authentic, and vibrant mind-blowing Mediterranean meals to a wider audience, using ingredients made from scratch in-house every day.

And the new location needs workers.

New hires begin with a starting wage of $13.50 per hour and receive a full benefit package that includes paid sick, parental, and vacation time for part-time and full-time team members; health benefits; 401K retirement plans; paid community service days; two hours of paid leave to vote on Election Day, and of course, free CAVA.
