  • About the company

      Noodles & Company opened its first restaurant in Denver, Colorado in 1995, offering noodle and pasta dishes with the goal of delivering fresh ingredients and flavors from around the world under one roof -from Pad Thai to Mac & Cheese. The brand was founded on the core principle that good food can be served quickly and conveniently in an inviting atmosphere without sacrificing quality, freshness or flavor, all at a value-oriented price point and no tip! Today, Noodles & Company delivers on that core principle across hundreds of restaurants and in dozens of states in the U.S. every bowl, every guest, every time.
