NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Call Your Mother Deli, a

restaurant chain that was launched in Washington, D.C. and is

known for its bagel sandwiches, has sold a stake to investment

firm Invus Group, according to a statement seen by Reuters.

The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife duo Andrew Dana and

Daniela Moreira, the restaurant chain now has around 15

locations across Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and

Colorado.

"Partnering with Invus will allow us to grow while staying

true to our roots and the communities that have supported us

from the beginning. We're excited about their trust in our

long-term vision for our shops, and we look forward to bringing

more carbs to communities across the country," said Dana.

New York-based Invus has more than $10 billion of assets

under management and primarily invests in companies and brands

in the consumer and retail industries. The firm was an early

investor in restaurant chain Cava ( CAVA ), which listed its

shares through an initial public offering in 2023.

Invus has also backed other popular names including pet food

brand Blue Buffalo, beauty products retailer Bluemercury, and

weight-loss program operator WeightWatchers.

Harrington Park Advisors advised Call Your Mother on the

transaction.
