  • 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

  • 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.
