Fast-casual chain Cava Group has reduced its annual sales forecast due to cautious consumer spending habits and a decrease in restaurant meal sales. The company now expects sales growth of no more than 6% at established locations, down from an earlier projection of up to 8%. This adjustment comes after quarterly sales data showed the slowest rate since Q1 2021, according to Bloomberg.
