Cava trounces fast-casual peers with 22% revenue growth, surpassing $1 billion in sales for the first time

Good morning. Cava isn’t just expanding geographically—it’s evolving its menu, as the company forges ahead into 2026 after posting record revenue in 2025.

The Mediterranean fast-casual chain recently launched its most extensive menu update yet, CFO Tricia Tolivar said. White sweet potatoes returned alongside new items such as power greens, sumac slaw, and pita chips with sumac sour cream and onion. In April, Cava will introduce its first salmon entrée, finished with a pomegranate glaze.
