Cava Group reported a significant decline in third-quarter profit, falling to $13.2 million from the prior year. The fast-casual chain attributed the decrease to higher labor costs and capital investments. A Cyclospora outbreak linked to the company contributed to a sales slump during the period.
Despite the profit drop, the company continues to focus on strategic growth initiatives to stabilize its financial performance.
