Private-equity firm buys controlling stake in Noodles & Co.

Broomfield-based Noodles & Co. has sold a controlling stake in the chain to private-equity investment firm Catterton Partners of Greenwich, Conn.

The chain operates in 18 states with 255 locations — more than twice the number of restaurants it owned five years ago. The first Noodles outlet opened in 1995 in Cherry Creek.
