Noodles &amp; Company is a fast casual restaurant which offers lunch and dinner. It serves noodles, pastas, salads, soups, sandwiches, cheese, meatballs and beverages. The company operates in the United States. Noodles &amp; Company is based in Broomfield, Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>This stock has caught fire lately due to some timely analyst upgrades and a new product that many think will give the company an edge. Noodles is riding the low-carb and paleo craze by providing customers and alternative to high-carb traditional pastas. Many analysts think the company&#8217;s zucchini noodles&#8211;known as &#8220;zoodles&#8221;&#8211;will help differentiate the restaurants and make consumers take notice.<\/p>\n<p>ValuEngine updated its recommendation from BUY to STRONG BUY for NOODLES &amp; CO on 2018-10-16. Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that NOODLES &amp; CO has the probability to OUTPERFORM average market performance for the next year.
