Noodles & Company Impact Report

Since the first bowl of noodles we served in 1995, we have committed ourselves to fresh ingredients and a fresh perspective for caring for our team members and communities.

Our first impact report outlines the key initiatives we have taken to curate a menu with bold flavors, activate industry-leading people benefits, and care for the communities and planet we call home. We are proud to make the world a better place one bowl at a time. Thank you for coming to sit at our table.

From fresh ingredients to elevating women in leadership to pouring back into our communities, our journey has already begun. It is not what we do but how we do it that drives our passion, and we can't wait to take you along with us.


We Inspire with a bowl of Noodles

Food

“For more than 25 years we have served our guests new and innovative noodle dishes. From our comforting favorites to our exciting, bold, world inspired flavors there is truly something for every craving. We don’t believe there is anything quite like connecting over a fresh cooked meal and we believe every bowl is a catalyst for unifying our team members, guests, and communities.” – Nick Graff

We Nourish Our Communities

Community

“We are proud to serve the communities we are part of. Safety has always been our top priority and we implemented enhanced safety protocols over the last year and a half to keep our guests and team healthy. We continue to support our communities through our giveback efforts from fundraising nights to food donations for our front-line workers. We will always put community first because when our communities are stronger, we are too.” – Stacey Pool
