CAVA Opens at Chestnut Hill Square

CHESTNUT HILL, MASSACHUSETTS (April 2025) - Chestnut Hill Square has announced the opening of CAVA, featuring Mediterranean-inspired bowls, pitas, dips, and dressings. The fast-casual restaurant serves delicious food that helps people eat well and live well.

Before the doors officially opened, 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 $600,000 in donations, mostly targeted at improving food security in local communities.

The Community Day event at CAVA Chestnut Hill Square 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.

“Chestnut Hill Square is excited to welcome CAVA. The delicious, healthy Mediterranean fare is a wonderful complement to our dining options,” says Rebekah Macchia, Marketing Director for Chestnut Hill Square.

About CAVA

Our brand and our opportunity transcend the Mediterranean category to compete in the large and growing limited-service restaurant sector as well as the health and wellness food category. CAVA serves guests across gender lines, age groups, and income levels and benefits from generational tailwinds created by consumer demand for healthy living and a demographic shift towards greater ethnic diversity. We meet consumers’ desires to engage with convenient, authentic, purpose-driven brands that view food as a source of self-expression. The broad appeal of our food combined with these favorable industry trends drive our vast opportunity for continued growth.
