How I Built This with Guy Raz’s Post

How I Built This with Guy Raz reposted this

Seventeen years ago last week, our journey began in a humble little full-service restaurant in Rockville, MD... We sat down with Guy Raz to talk about How WE Built This - the origins of CAVA and how we evolved from that single restaurant into a national, category-defining Mediterranean fast casual and all the missteps and challenges along the way. #cava #restaurants #fastcasual #mediterranean #healthyeating #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurship Listen here 👇 to How I Built This with Guy Raz... https://lnkd.in/ew7k52Mq

What a great listen! Often in these journeys the original goal of the company gets lost in the reality of doing business. It's great to hear that you guys struggled along difficult paths to keep true to a goal or providing healthy food made with excellent ingredients and build futures for the team which is helping you do this. I realized in Texas at Connect that Cava is mission driven and using food as the vehicle to spread good. Congratulations!

The story of Cava is very inspiring. Particularly because of the ground up efforts of the founders. Hard work and perseverance paid off in a big way!
