CAVA opened a new restaurant in Hanover, Massachusetts. The restaurant is located at 1775 Washington St., Suite 130, Hanover, MA 02339 in Hanover Crossing.
With Mediterranean-inspired bowls, pitas, dips, and dressings, the fast-casual restaurant chain serves food that helps people eat well and live well.
“Our mission is to bring heart, health, and humanity to food, and everything we do at CAVA is grounded in that spirit of generosity, to our guests, our team members, and our community,” said Ron Shuler, Regional Director in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to be in Hanover.”
Before the doors officially open, every CAVA restaurant invites its new neighbors to the table for a free meal, accepts donations to support a local cause, and matches those donations up to $1,000. Since 2019, this companywide Community Day program has raised more than $500,000 in donations, mostly targeted at improving food security in local communities. CAVA’s Hanover Community Day event raised funds for Food Rescue US, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating hunger and food waste. Through its proprietary web-based app, volunteers transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure.
Prior to the grand opening, CAVA also partnered with the Salvation Army to donate fresh meals prepared throughout the restaurant’s training period to local community members. The company’s food donation program launched nationally in fall 2023 to improve food insecurity and reduce food waste as CAVA expands to new locations.
CAVA’s new Hanover restaurant will employ 30-40 local people.
Daily operating hours are 10:45 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
