This week, we learned that a fast-growing, fast-casual restaurant has opened another location in Massachusetts, this time in Beverly.

CAVA, which offers bowls, pitas, dips and dressings, combined with an emphasis on hospitality and serving others, opened to the public on Friday after a company-wide Community Day project that raised money for Acord Food Pantry.
