BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Noodles & Company introduced a new menu offering called "Delicious Duos" on Wednesday, featuring combinations of small entrées with protein and a side dish, with prices starting at $9.95.
The new combo meals allow customers to pair smaller portions of the restaurant’s pasta dishes with sides such as Lemon Parmesan Broccoli, Caesar Salad, Garden Salad, or Chicken Noodle Soup. Additional side options are available through the company’s digital platforms.
According to a company survey conducted by Pollfish, nearly half of respondents prefer a small entrée with a side dish, while more than 75% consider price and value top priorities when dining out.
"We created Delicious Duos to give our guests more of what they love: variety, flavor, and value," said Stephen Kennedy, executive vice president and head of marketing at Noodles & Company, in a press release statement.
To promote the new menu items, the restaurant chain will host a "Dress as a Duo Day" on August 16, offering customers who arrive dressed as iconic pairs a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal on Delicious Duos meals at participating locations.
The fast-casual chain operates more than 460 restaurants across the United States. Standard Delicious Duos are priced at $9.95, while combinations that include chef-curated noodles and macaroni dishes with protein cost $10.95. Chicken Parmesan is excluded from the offering, and prices may vary by location.
In other recent news, Noodles & Company reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, revealing a net loss per share of $0.20, which was larger than the analyst forecast of a $0.11 loss. However, the company did see a slight increase in revenue, reaching $123.8 million and surpassing expectations. Additionally, the company received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, as its stock price remained below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. This notice does not immediately impact the listing or trading of the company’s shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Furthermore, at the recent annual meeting, Noodles & Company shareholders voted on key matters, including the re-election of directors. Thomas Lynch, Elisa Schreiber, and Britain Peakes were re-elected as Class III directors, each serving a three-year term. These developments come amid ongoing concerns about the company’s profitability, as highlighted by the earnings miss. The company’s financial performance and compliance issues are likely to remain focal points for investors and analysts alike.
