Cava has opened its doors in Pflugerville, bringing customizable Mediterranean bowls and pita wraps to a brand-new building inside Stone Hill Town Center. The fast-casual chain's location at 18709 Limestone Commercial Drive, Ste. 100, serves proteins like steak, lamb, falafel and chicken alongside toppings such as greens, rice, lentils, roasted vegetables, corn, pickled onions and avocado.
The opening, reported by Community Impact, places Cava inside a newly constructed 7,125-square-foot, three-tenant building that it shares with an incoming Hopdoddy Burger Bar, according to developer NewQuest Properties. Hopdoddy is slated to open its doors on October 27, just days after Cava's debut. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings show the Cava build-out involved a $750,000 interior tenant improvement project spread across 2,625 square feet, with construction registered to begin in March.
A Final Piece of Stone Hill's Nearly 20-Year Build-Out
Cava's arrival marks one of the last major tenant additions to Stone Hill Town Center, a roughly 1-million-square-foot shopping complex that NewQuest Properties first broke ground on in 2007. The developer has said Cava, Hopdoddy and Piada Italian Street Food anchor the restaurant lineup for the center's final expansion phase, following nearly two decades of retail development at the site. Piada, a chef-driven pasta concept, planned to occupy 1608 Town Center Drive, Suite 100, as Hoodline previously reported.
The scale of that investment tracks with how much traffic the center already pulls in. Stone Hill Town Center ranks among the top 15 most-visited shopping centers in Texas. Its trade area includes nearly 250,000 residents with an average household income of $156,000, per NewQuest Properties' leasing disclosures. Those numbers help explain why national chains keep clustering along Limestone Commercial Drive.
Pflugerville's Growing Suburban Appeal
Pflugerville's Growing Suburban Appeal Stone Hill has concentrated its newest restaurant openings near the intersection of SH 130 and SH 45.
Cava also held a Community Day at an Orlando location.
Part of a Bigger National Push
The Pflugerville opening lands amid rapid company-wide growth for Cava Group. The chain opened 17 net new restaurants in its fiscal second quarter of 2026, pushing its national footprint to 476 locations across 29 states as of July, according to the company's own financial report. Market research firm Intellectia.AI reported that Cava Group crossed the 500-restaurant mark nationwide in 2026, following a fiscal 2025 that generated nearly $1.2 billion in total revenue.
Cava has been expanding elsewhere in Central Texas, too. Hoodline has reported on delays affecting the chain's Ladera Boulevard build in Bee Cave, and the company set a September 7 opening at a Creekside development in New Braunfels. The new Pflugerville store also opens into a favorable local dining gap: Stone Hill's high-volume Chick-fil-A closed starting September 3 for a $2.2 million drive-thru overhaul expected to take 12 to 13 weeks, a renovation Hoodline covered. Nearby new restaurants offer displaced diners more options along Limestone Commercial Drive.
Cava's Pflugerville location is open now at 18709 Limestone Commercial Drive, Ste. 100, with menu and hours details available at www.cava.com.
