Mediterranean Restaurant CAVA Eying Mall Location

The Burlington Mall renovations of the Sears and Sears Automotive Center are still in the very early stages but already a restaurant is looking to occupy one of the future spaces.

According to paperwork filed with the Burlington Planning Department an entity calling itself Cava Mezze Grill, LLC, is looking for a special permit to open a Cava Mezze Grill location in the future building being built on the former Sears Tire and Battery site. According to the application the restaurant will occupy 2,545 square feet of the building and have seasonal outdoor patio seating.

Started by three childhood friends Ike Grigoropoulos, Chef Dimitri Moshovitis, and Ted Xenohristos, CAVA is a fast casual Mediterranean restaurant. The Washington, D.C. based organization has expanded into the Massachusetts in the last few years with locations in Boston, Hingham and Dedham.

“CAVA was born out of a desire to fuel full lives through a bold and innovative food culture rooted in the heritage of the culinary brand’s founders,” the restaurant’s website states. “The three first-generation Greek Americans are childhood friends who wanted to bring the authentic Mediterranean flavors and experiences of their Greek upbringing to a wider audience in a morder, accessible format.”
