Noodles & CompanyNDLSConsumer Discretionary

Serving globally inspired noodle and pasta dishes, soups, salads, and appetizers through a fast-casual restaurant model. Revenue is generated through a mix of company-owned and franchised restaurants within one reportable segment.

Founded in Denver in 1995, the chain serves cooked-to-order noodle and pasta dishes inspired by multiple cuisines, with soups, salads, and appetizers alongside them. Its fast-casual model is built around fresh ingredients and flavors.

The restaurant base is concentrated in the United States, operating across 31 states through a mix of company-owned and franchised locations. Company-owned and franchise-owned restaurants make up its single operating and reportable segment.
