With little fanfare, Zöe's Kitchen at Bradlee Shopping Center in Alexandria has closed its doors.
The fast-casual restaurant at 3644 King St., served up Mediterranean-style kabobs, roll-ups, salads and more for the past nine years after opening in the fall of 2013. It took the place of a Chicken Out.
Locations at Vienna and Ashburn remain open.
Signs on the space announce that Cava will be moving into the space.
Here's a message from the Zöe's Kitchen website: "We’re just getting started. Learn more about the next chapter as we join together with CAVA – a leading Mediterranean culinary brand that shares the same passion for creating bold, craveable meals and exceptional guest experiences. Our commitment to quality and to you, our guest, will always be number one. And we’re incredibly thankful for all of your passion and support."
According to a report last year in Nation's Restaurant News, D.C.-based Cava began converting some of the Plano, Texas-based Zöe's Kitchens into Cava Grills after acquiring Zöe's for $300 million.
There are currently Cava Grills located at Foxchase, Kingstowne and Richmond Highway in Alexandria.
