IPO Roundup: 3 companies go public Friday

NEW YORK (AP) -- A Mediterranean-style restaurant chain, a maker of animal nutritional supplements and the owner of natural gas and oil pipelines rose in their stock market debuts Friday.

Of the three, eatery chain Zoe's Kitchen had the largest gain. Its shares rose nearly 65 percent.
