Zoës Kitchen was a Mediterranean Style restaurant chain, and a subsidiary of the Cava Group.[1] Their headquarters were located in Plano, Texas. In 2013, the chain had grown to host over 200 locations across 17 states, however, acquisition by Cava Group resulted in a reduction of Zoe's locations (some replaced by Cava restaurants).
History
