Las Cruces welcomes a new fast‑casual dining option as Noodles & Company prepares to open its doors at 3497 Northrise Drive on Sept. 23, 2026. The national chain, known for a wide variety of noodle‑based dishes, will provide residents with a convenient spot for lunch, dinner or a quick family meal.
Franchise partnership brings bold flavors to the community
The restaurant is being brought to town by Tsunami Hill Enterprises, a local franchise partner led by president Carlos Hill. Hill explained that the decision to locate a Noodles & Company outlet in Las Cruces came after observing a clear demand for a “new, bold flavor” in the area. “As a Las Cruces resident, I’m especially excited to introduce these bold, approachable flavors to my own community and create a place where there’s truly something for everyone,” Hill said.
Noodles & Company’s menu features fan‑favorite classics such as Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese alongside globally inspired bowls like Japanese Pan Noodles, Thai‑style options and Italian‑style pasta dishes. All items are prepared fresh and made to order, allowing guests to customize their meals to suit individual tastes.
Opening details and hours
The restaurant will open at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 23 and will operate daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Customers can expect a quick‑service environment designed for both solo diners and families looking for a convenient, affordable meal. Hill emphasized that the location aims to serve a broad cross‑section of the community, whether guests are stopping by for a quick lunch break, picking up dinner for the family, or discovering a new favorite bowl.
Local impact and job creation
Beyond expanding dining choices, the new Noodles & Company is expected to create a number of jobs for Las Cruces residents, ranging from kitchen staff to front‑of‑house positions. Hill noted that the local team has been working hard to ensure a smooth launch and a welcoming atmosphere for neighbors.
“Las Cruces holds a special place in my heart, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to introduce the community to Noodles & Company’s bold, craveable bowls and menu items,” Hill added. “Our local team has been working hard to deliver a great experience for our guests, and we can’t wait to serve our delicious bowls to our neighbors.”
