During that period, CAVA reported a 20% year-over-year increase in revenue and a 1.9% growth in same-restaurant sales. The company also expanded its footprint by opening 17 new locations, demonstrating its continued growth.

The company, which specializes in shipping freight that doesn't require a full truck, reported that LTL shipments per workday fell 3.4% and tonnage declined 3.3% in October compared to the same month in the previous year. However, the trend reversed in November, with shipments per workday rising 2.6% and tonnage increasing 1.8%.
