Fast-Casual Cava Adds La Jolla To Its Growing Area Expansion Plans - Eater San Diego

"Washington, D.C.-based Cava is expanding across San Diego, with a new location at The Shops at La Jolla, joining other dining options like Snooze and Philz Coffee. Cava provides a customizable menu of salads, pita breads, or grain bowls filled with over 50 varieties of dips, proteins, toppings, and sauces. Plans include five locations in San Diego by late 2020, including at Carmel Valley’s One Paseo and Westfield Mission Valley mall. The first location in the area opened last fall in the Encinitas Town Center. Offerings include roasted vegetables and a spicy lime tahini dressing. Cava was founded in 2011 by Ted Xenohristos, Ike Grigoropoulos, and chef Dimitri Moshovitis, and has 78 locations nationwide." - Tierney Plumb
