Cava’s news and media highlights

Panera Bread’s founder is once again making waves in the restaurant space. Ron Shaich, who served as the fast-casual restaurant chain’s CEO from 1984 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2018, currently helms Act III Holdings, a $300 million fund that invests in public and private restaurant and consumer companies. He also serves as a company chairman for Cava Group Inc., a restaurant chain serving Mediterranean fast-casual and finer dining meals, which last week made its initial public offering, ending a market drought
On Thursday, shares of fast-casual restaurant chain Cava exploded 99% on their first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock gave up some of its gains Friday, but it's clear investors can envision Cava as the next great restaurant investment in the mold of burrito king Chipotle.
Shares of Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava soared as much as 117% in its market debut Thursday. The company's stock closed at $43.78 per share, up from its opening trade of $42 per share. Its closing price gives it a market value of $4.88 billion and makes it the top-performing IPO this year for companies valued above $500 million.
Cava is out with its IPO plans. The Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant chain plans to offer over 14 million shares for between $17 and $19 per share, which could raise between $245.6 million to $274.4 million dollars. Cava also expects to grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase some 2.2 million additional shares. Following the offering, there will be an additional 111.4 million outstanding shares, bringing the high-end valuation to what Cava believes is a roughly $2.1 billion business.
