While we’re currently working remotely due to COVID-19, Noodles & Company’s Central Support Office is located at the foot of the Flatirons surrounded by beautiful mountain views. Ours is a unique, casual (jeans every day!) office environment where creativity is encouraged, laughter expected and collaboration promoted. And if you have a four-legged furry friend (the kind that barks—meows are okay too), feel free to bring ’em on in. We even offer the opportunity to get pet insurance should you choose.
We keep busy here. And we’re not just talking work…we have a lot of fun too! In pre-COVID times, Lunch & Learns, birthday celebrations, breakfasts, special outings like mini golf, the Summer Picnic, Holiday Party, ice cream trucks and more were the norm. These days we’re getting creative with virtual and socially distanced events!
We also have a passion for the communities we live and work in and encourage our team members to give back to causes that are important to them, whether that’s partnering with an organization to do a toy drive or volunteering our team to help feed the homeless.
