Cava Garlic Ranch Pita Chips are being launched by the Mediterranean fast-casual brand as its first update to its original pita chips to provide diners with something new to try out. The snack features the familiar taste and texture of the original, but covers each bite in a blend of garlic, onion and paprika flavors with the brand's proprietary herb mix for a highly flavored final product. The chips will be on offer alongside the brand's original flavor at all participating locations in the US starting October 7, 2024 for diners to try out.
Co-Founder and Chief Concept Officer Ted Xenohristos commented on the Cava Garlic Ranch Pita Chips saying, "Our classic pita chips have a fervent following, so we wanted to give guests something new to crave and grounded in our Mediterranean roots. Customers love engaging with our pita chips on Cava's social media channels, and we can't wait to see how they creatively show off our Garlic Ranch flavor in their original content."
