Zoe’s Kitchen, based in
Plano, Texas, was founded in 1995 as a fast casual restaurant concept serving a
distinct menu of fresh, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, based upon family
recipes, made from scratch daily and delivered with Southern hospitality. The emphasis
is on nutrition and freshness, appealing to the growing demand for healthier
foods, with a special focus on the popular Mediterranean diet. As such, their
offerings include plenty of fruits and vegetables, along with fish and
anti-oxidant rich olive oil. Their informal motto is: “If it wasn’t food 100
years ago, it isn’t food today”.
The company offers franchise
opportunities, which has accelerated growth. Today they have over 110 locations
in 15 states, primarily covering the southern half of the country, but as far
north as Pennsylvania. The company is led by CEO Kevin Miles, recognized in
both Nation’s Restaurant News and Fast Casual magazine highlighting him as “Top
10 Executives to Watch” and “Top Movers and Shakers”.
In a press release, the company
announced the pricing of its IPO of 5,833,333 shares of common stock at a price
to the public of $15.00 per share. The shares began trading today on the New
York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ZOES.” The closing of the offering
is expected to occur on April 16, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.
