Zoës Kitchen
Zoës is a phenomenal new brand that defies easy categorization.
A twenty-one unit company based in Birmingham, Alabama, Zoës is a fast-casual, Mediterranean-inspired “clean food” restaurant concept. The firm operates in 2,500-3,000 square feet and enjoyed double-digit comparable store sales increases from 2006 to 2007.
This performance caught the attention of Brentwood Associates, a California-based venture capital firm which purchased a majority stake in the company and which is funding Zoës national expansion. Segall Group is working on site selection in the D.C.-Baltimore market, where the first stores should open in 2009.
