Noodles & Company

Noodles & Company is a national fast-casual restaurant chain known for its broad menu of noodle and pasta dishes inspired by a range of global cuisines, as well as soups, salads, and appetizers. The company began in Colorado in 1995, founded with the idea of offering guests a variety of approachable yet adventurous flavors in a welcoming setting. One of the brand’s defining milestones was its public debut on the NASDAQ in 2013, which helped accelerate its expansion and increase its visibility across the country.

As of November 2025, Noodles & Company operates 454 locations throughout more than 30 states. The company maintains a mix of company-owned and franchised restaurants and is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. Over the past five years, Noodles & Company has actively expanded its presence in both new and existing markets, with particular focus on Texas, Florida, the Midwest, the Southeast, and the Mountain West. The brand has adapted to changing consumer preferences by piloting new formats, such as smaller urban stores and locations designed for off-premise dining, reflecting the rise of digital ordering and the need for flexible footprints.

Noodles & Company has built credibility as a stable and adaptable tenant, consistently investing in menu innovation and operational efficiency. Its approach to real estate emphasizes high-traffic suburban and urban areas, often within shopping centers and lifestyle developments. The brand’s willingness to evolve its store formats and its ongoing growth posture have made it a recognizable and reliable presence in the fast-casual sector, offering steady foot traffic and a broad guest appeal.
