Cava, the national Mediterranean fast-casual chain, is set to open a new restaurant at Vineland Pointe in Orlando tomorrow. The spot will bring the brand’s bowls, pitas, dips, and desserts to the busy International Drive corridor, with a pre-opening Community Day that aims to support local hunger-relief efforts while creating dozens of jobs.
Opening Day, Menu And Fundraiser
According to WhatNow, the new CAVA will open at 11519 Regency Village Drive and operate daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Ahead of the official debut, the restaurant plans a pre-opening Community Day, inviting neighbors in for complimentary meals, collecting on-site donations, and matching those donations up to $1,000.
Scott Sheffield, a regional director, told WhatNow, “We couldn't be more thrilled to continue to grow our presence in the Orlando area with the opening of this new restaurant.”
CAVA's Community Outreach And Expansion
CAVA runs a companywide Community Day program that invites guests for complimentary meals and matches donations up to $1,000. The company says the initiative has raised more than $1 million for food-insecurity groups since 2019. In a company release highlighting recent Florida openings, CAVA frames the program as part of a broader nationwide growth plan.
Why Vineland Pointe
The Vineland Pointe directory lists CAVA as a new tenant at the Regency Village Drive site, which places the restaurant within the high-traffic I-Drive tourism corridor. Vineland Pointe and local guides note that the area continues to draw national concepts and visitor-oriented retail, making it a natural fit for another fast-casual option.
Jobs And Hiring
Local job listings for the Vineland Pointe restaurant show openings for team members, grill cooks, and assistant managers. The Harri posting for CAVA – Vineland Pointe confirms the 11519 Regency Village Drive address and available roles, while the CAVA materials list employee benefits such as free meals, healthcare options, and early wage access.
Once doors officially open, the new CAVA will give area workers, visitors, and families another convenient fast-casual choice along I-Drive. Community Day activities and the company’s donation match mean the launch will also channel support to local hunger-relief partners ahead of the Friday opening.
