National Mediterranean fast-casual chain Cava is bringing build-your-own bowls and pita wraps to downtown Detroit.
Set to open Friday, Sept. 26 next to Shake Shack at 636 Woodward Ave., it will be Cava’s first Detroit location and second in Michigan.
“We were delighted by the way the Canton community embraced our first Michigan restaurant this summer,” said Jeff Gaul, Chief Development Officer of Cava. “As we grow across the Midwest, we’re excited to welcome Detroit to our table to experience the bold flavors of our high-quality meals and Mediterranean hospitality while living out our mission to bring heart, health, and humanity to food.”
The Detroit location will be open from 10:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. daily and will employ between 25-40 workers, the company says.
According to the Washington, D.C.-based company, the chain’s fully customizable menu can make more than 17 billion combinations. It recently opened its 400th location in the U.S. and says it plans to open 1,000 locations by 2032.
The chain’s first Michigan location opened earlier this summer at 43450 Ford Rd., Canton.
