Cava Grill coming to Silver Spring Next Year

From a press release:

“On the heels of a multi-million dollar investment announcement and national expansion news, Cava Grill is thrilled to announce the opening of a new location in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, at 8515 Fenton St. Bringing its loved modern Mediterranean flavors and fresh-casual concept to more Montgomery County residents, Cava Grill’s Silver Spring restaurant is slated for an early 2016 opening.

Cava Grill’s Silver Spring outpost will add a fresh dining option to the downtown area, conveniently located near several entertainment venues such as the Fillmore, AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center and Regal Cinemas Majestic 20 & IMAX, as well as other area destinations like the City Place Mall and Veterans Plaza.

The new location will feature an expanded open-kitchen layout; local beer and wine on tap; new menu items including seasonal vegetables roasted in Cava’s new stone-fired ovens, and rotating seasonal soups, juices, and teas made in-house daily; deeper relationships with local partners like Whisked!, Gordy’s Pickle Jar, and RunningByrd Tea; and additional community initiatives representative of Cava’s commitment to innovation, evolution, and attentiveness within fast-casual dining.

Keeping with Cava Grill’s opening traditions, the public will be invited to celebrate the new location with a Community Day, where lunch and dinner (rice bowls, salads, pitas) are free, with an encouraged donation to their local non-profit partner, City Blossoms, which champions healthy eating in the DC community. That date will be announced closer to the opening.

Cava Grill’s new Silver Spring outpost will be located at 8515 Fenton St., Silver Spring, MD”
