Federal Realty Inv. Trust leases space to Cava

Melville, NY Federal Realty Investment Trust has signed Cava, a growing Mediterranean brand with a flavorful and healthy fast-casual restaurant experience, as the final tenant at its new 15,000 s/f building at Melville Mall. The restaurant will open this summer. AT&T and a locally owned Club Pilates studio opened in December and Manhattan-based Gregory’s Coffee opens this winter. Other restaurant tenants include Lucharitos, a taqueria and tequila bar from Greenport, and Taste of the Orient from Yaas Café, both opening in June.

“Cava brings a great new healthy lunch option to the area,” said Mark Brennan of Federal Realty Investment Trust. “This new group of tenants expands the variety of options and conveniences that Melville Mall offers the community and continues to make it an essential destination for area residents and workers.”

Located at the intersection of Long Island’s Northern State Parkway and Route 110/Walt Whitman Rd., Melville Mall is a grocery-anchored power center. Home to the newest Uncle Giuseppe’s grocery store, Melville Mall has long been an important shopping destination and now will offer more reasons for area residents to frequent the location for everyday needs.
