Moe's Southwest Grill - Franchise


Moe's Overview
Founded in December 2000 in Atlanta, Ga., Moe's Southwest Grill, ranked #1 in the Fast Casual Mexican Category by Entrepreneur in 2011, is a fun and engaging fast-casual restaurant franchise serving a wide variety of fresh, made-to-order southwest fare.

The first thing you'll hear when you walk into the restaurant is an enthusiastic "Welcome to Moe's!" It's more than a greeting; it's a way of life for the folks who customize each meal fresh to order right in front of the guest.

While Moe's is best known for its burritos packed with a choice of over 20 fresh, flavorful ingredients, the menu also features kid's, vegetarian and low-calorie options. And all meals are served with free chips and salsa.

We believe in delicious simplicity, which is our way of saying we're committed to serving only the highest quality ingredients 100% of the time at 100% of our locations. The fully customizable menu proudly boasts all natural, cage-free, white breast meat chicken; steroid-free, grain-fed pulled pork; 100% sirloin, grass-fed steak; and organic tofu. At Moe's, there are no microwaves, no Trans fats and no msg.

Food quality, safety and customer service are no joke, but aside from that, Moe's tries not to take itself too seriously. For fun, the folks at Moe's gave each menu item a unique name like The Funk Meister taco, Homewrecker burrito and Billy Barou nachos, to name a few, just to keep things interesting.

And the music at Moe's is also a good conversation starter. If you listen closely to the tunes playing at any Moe's restaurant, you'll notice all of the songs are performed by dead musicians to honor the sweet sounds of the artists who left us too soon.

In August 2007, Moe's Southwest Grill joined FOCUS Brands Inc. Atlanta-based FOCUS Brands is a global franchisor of over 3,300 Carvel Ice Cream, Cinnabon, Schlotzsky's, Moe's Southwest Grill and Auntie Anne's locations. Moe's currently serves the most awesome southwest fare at over 445 locations in the United States and abroad.
