Danny Meyer has invested in New York's American fast-casual chain Dig Inn, reports Eater. Meyer's investment fund Enlightened Hospitality Investments is backing expansion efforts for the veggie-centric bowl chain with $15 million, some of which will go toward opening a full-service restaurant in the West Village.
Details about the restaurant are not yet available, but the funds will also be used to open more fast-casual locations in NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia, as well as expand its culinary training program for first-time kitchen workers.
Money will also go toward Dig Inn's new delivery service, which will expand to first include all of downtown Manhattan and then the full borough, according to Dig Inn founder Adam Eskin. Full Story
