Mediterranean fast-casual chain Cava has announced plans to expand into Northern California. The company confirmed its first location will open next year at Santana Row in San Jose, with two additional sites planned closer to San Francisco following a social media vote.

In addition to this regional expansion, Cava Group is preparing for its second-quarter earnings report. Analysts anticipate revenue growth of approximately 28.3% to $360.1 million. The expansion into the Bay Area aligns with the company’s long-term objective to reach 1,000 restaurants by 2032.
