Opening Date Set For Z!Eats Soup, Sandwich Restaurant In Fairfax City

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Fairfax City foodies will soon have another place to enjoy soups, sandwiches and salads.

A sign hanging in the door of the new Z!Eats in Scout on the Circle says that the restaurant's official opening will be Thursday, Dec. 12.

"We weren't born with a silver soup spoon in our mouth," according to the Z!Eats website. "It started in 1997 with two spice merchants who shared a love for soul-soothing soup. They believed that soup should be celebrated — and that clean, nutritious ingredients should be the norm. They called it Zoup! Today, we're Z!Eats."

In February, WOWorks announced that it was rebranding Zoup!, a restaurant chain specializing in serving chef-driven soups, as Z!Eats and introducing a new menu that "caters to health-conscious individuals seeking a remarkable dining experience," according to a company release.

Once the Z!Eats in Fairfax City opens its doors at 9414 Fairfax Blvd. in, the restaurant's regular hours will be Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

When Z!Eats began working on the Fairfax City location earlier this year, it already had a presence in Northern Virginia, but the Z!Eats in Cascades closed its doors in July.
