CAVA's First Ever Michigan Restaurant Opens in Canton
CAVA infuses every community it joins with the bold flavors and warm hospitality of the Mediterranean. Its fully customizable menu comprises of 38 ingredients, creating over 17 billion combinations for guests to enjoy through bowls, pitas, chips, dips, juices, and dressings. CAVA is expanding its mission to bring heart, health, and humanity to food throughout the country, with increasing momentum in the Midwest.
'We're thrilled to join the Southeast Michigan community and introduce more guests to the bold, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean,' said Gino Carlin, Regional Leader at CAVA. 'Entering the state of Michigan marks our 28th state, and we're eager to welcome more guests in the Midwest and throughout the country to our table to enjoy our Mediterranean cuisine and hospitality.'
Before the doors officially open to any new restaurant, CAVA invites guests in for a complimentary meal, accepts donations to support a local cause, and matches those donations up to $1,000. Since 2019, this companywide Community Day program has raised more than $600,000 in donations, focused on organizations improving food insecurity in local communities. In keeping with this tradition, CAVA's Canton Community Day event was held yesterday, raising funds for Gleaners Food Bank of Southeast Michigan, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger.
With a target of 1,000 restaurants by 2032, the company is quickly growing its national footprint, with plans to open additional restaurants in Michigan later this year. It opened 58 net new restaurants in the 2024 Fiscal Year and expects at least 17 percent growth in 2025. With its entrance into Michigan, CAVA's total national footprint reaches 28 states and the District of Columbia.
Prior to the grand opening, CAVA also donated fresh meals prepared throughout the restaurant's training period to local community members. The company's food donation program was launched nationally in the fall of 2023 to improve food insecurity and reduce food waste as CAVA expands to new locations.
CAVA's new Canton restaurant will employ 25-40 local people. The company hires people for their hospitality and warmth and is dedicated to creating career pathways for its team members. CAVA offers competitive pay and benefits including paid time off, healthcare, early wage access, an Employee Assistance Program, and free mental health support.

Shareholders in Steelcase (NYSE:SCS) are in the red if they invested a year ago
Passive investing in an index fund is a good way to ensure your own returns roughly match the overall market. While individual stocks can be big winners, plenty more fail to generate satisfactory returns. Unfortunately the Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) share price slid 25% over twelve months. That falls noticeably short of the market return of around 19%. However, the longer term returns haven't been so bad, with the stock down 4.9% in the last three years. It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Even though the Steelcase share price is down over the year, its EPS actually improved. It's quite possible that growth expectations may have been unreasonable in the past. The divergence between the EPS and the share price is quite notable, during the year. So it's easy to justify a look at some other metrics. Revenue was fairly steady year on year, which isn't usually such a bad thing. However, it is certainly possible the market was expecting an uptick in revenue, and that the share price fall reflects that disappointment. You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). We know that Steelcase has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Steelcase, it has a TSR of -22% for the last 1 year. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! A Different Perspective Steelcase shareholders are down 22% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 19%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. On the bright side, long term shareholders have made money, with a gain of 4% per year over half a decade. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important.
