Zoe’s Kitchen, located at 19865 Century Blvd in Germantown , will be closing permanently on Wednesday, July 6th, according to a representative from the Germantown location. We are told it will be reopening after approximately 3 months as a CAVA catering hub. CAVA, the fast-casual restaurant that started in MoCo, acquired Zoe’s and its 200+ restaurants in 2018 for approximately $300 million.

Serving a Mediterranean inspired menu with different varieties of salads, pitas and sandwiches; Zoe’s, by 2014 grew, to include over 200 locations across 17 states with plans to expand further. However, the acquisition by CAVA has resulted in a dramatic reduction in Zoe’s locations (some replaced by CAVA restaurants).
