Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava saw its revenue rise 12.8% in 2022, according to regulatory filings released Friday as it filed to go public through an initial public offering. Over the last five years, it's converted Zoes' footprint into new Cava locations. Last year, the company's net sales climbed to $564.1 million, 12.8% higher than the year earlier. The company has 263 locations open as of April 16 and plans to open 34 to 44 new units by the end of the year. But investors might have an appetite for Cava stock despite concerns about a potential recession this year hitting restaurant demand.
Mediterranean chain Cava announced Monday it has confidentially filed for an initial public offering. It's the first restaurant company so far this year to take the first step toward a public market debut, following a drought of IPOs in 2022. In 2018, it bought Zoes Kitchen for $300 million, taking the chain private. The company is converting Zoes locations into new Cava restaurants, expanding its footprint. Cava also sells its dips and spreads, like spicy hummus, tzatziki and tahini dressing, at Whole Foods and other grocery stores.
