CAVA, the Mediterranean fast-casual chain, opens its first Pembroke Pines location on September 9 at Pembroke Lakes Square, per the brand's Instagram. The debut brings the chain's build-your-own bowl and pita format to western Broward County.
The menu follows the format the brand has built its expansion around: customizable bowls and pitas assembled from Mediterranean-inspired ingredients, with dips and additional items available, according to the announcement. No departure from the core concept is indicated for this location.
Ahead of the opening, CAVA hosted Community Days in the area. The brand is pairing the launch with a charitable initiative benefiting the Center for Family and Child Enrichment, matching customer donations up to $1,000, per its Instagram.
The operator describes the Pembroke Lakes Square opening as another step in an ongoing South Florida expansion. Whether additional Broward County sites follow will indicate how aggressively the chain is targeting the market beyond its existing regional presence.
