Fun facts about CAVA GROUP, INC.

Quirks, history, and lore behind CAVA — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

1
The Basics
U.S. restaurant chain · fast-casual segment · listed on the NYSE · headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area.
2
The Numbers
Annual revenue in the neighborhood of $900 million with over 300 locations and same-restaurant sales growth that has repeatedly outpaced the broader fast-casual industry.
3
The History
Rooted in a Mediterranean restaurant concept founded in the early 2000s, it grew from a regional East Coast brand before going public in 2023 in one of the more closely watched restaurant IPOs in years.
4
The Secret
The menu is built around harissa, tzatziki, and falafel — not a burger or a burrito in sight — making it a rare mainstream bet that Mediterranean cuisine could scale nationally.
5
The Lore
It quietly acquired a struggling Greek fast-casual rival and absorbed its recipes and kitchen know-how, essentially consolidating the entire Mediterranean fast-casual lane before most investors noticed it existed.
6
The Giveaway
Pita bowls, tahini dressing, and a ticker that doubles as the name of a tangy fermented cabbage — wait, wrong vegetable — it's named after a savory Greek dip made from cucumbers and yogurt.

• Operating cash flow recovered to $64M in Q2 2026, highest in 8 quarters, signaling improved working capital management.

• Operating income volatile: $25M in Q2 2026 versus $3M in Q4 2025, indicating margin sensitivity to quarterly mix and leverage.

⚠ Q4 2025 showed a cliff: $275M revenue, $3M op income, $5M net income—worst quarter in dataset despite growth cycle.

⚠ Net income $24M in Q2 2026 masks underlying margin compression: operating margin 5.7% versus 7.6% in Q3 2025.
