CAVA Opens Fourth Location In Illinois In Bolingbrook

BOLINGBROOK, IL — CAVA has officially opened its fourth restaurant in Illinois, with the opening of its Bolingbrook Location at 215 N. Weber Road on June 27, the business shared in a news release. Daily operating hours are 10:45 a.m. - 10 p.m.

The fast-casual restaurant chain offers Mediterranean-inspired bowls, pitas, dips and dressings.

“Our mission is to bring heart, health, and humanity to food, and everything we do at CAVA is grounded in that spirit of generosity, to our guests, our team members, and our community,” said Gino Carlin, Regional Director. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be in Bolingbrook and continue to grow our presence in the greater Chicagoland area.”

Before the doors officially open, every CAVA restaurant invites its new neighbors to the table for a free meal, accepts donations to support a local cause, and matches those donations up to $1,000, the business said. Since 2019, this companywide Community Day program has raised more than $600,000 in donations, mostly targeted at improving food security in local communities.

CAVA’s Bolingbrook Community Day event raised funds for Chicagoland’s location of Food Rescue US, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating hunger and food waste, according to a release.

Prior to the grand opening, CAVA also donated fresh meals prepared throughout the restaurant’s training period to local community members, the business said. The company's food donation program launched nationally in fall 2023 to improve food insecurity and reduce food waste as CAVA expands to new locations.

CAVA’s new Bolingbrook restaurant will employ 25-40 local people, the business shared. CAVA offers competitive pay and benefits including paid time off, healthcare, early wage access, an Employee Assistance Program and free mental health support.
