Moe's Southwest Grill, referred to informally as Moe's, is an American fast casual restaurant franchise chain that was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, in December 2000[1] by Raving Brands. The name "Moe's" originated as an acronym for "Musicians, Outlaws and Entertainers," and this theme led to the music-related artwork found in the original design.[2]
Moe's Southwest Grill — together with Schlotzsky's, Carvel, Cinnabon, McAlister's Deli, Jamba and Auntie Anne's brands — is part of the Focus Brands portfolio of brands.
Fare[]
Moe's offers various types of food on its menu, including burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos, salads, stacks, burrito bowls, and house-made seasonal salsas. Ingredients can be added or subtracted from the standard entree for customization. Every order comes with chips and salsa on the side.[3]
International locations[]
Moe's no longer franchises any locations outside the United States.
In 2011 Moe's opened its first location outside the United States in Turkey.[4][unreliable source?]
In September 2012 Moe's opened its first Russian franchise[5] located in the center of Moscow near the Kremlin on Pyatnitskaya Street.[6][7]
Franchise partners also existed in Costa Rica[8] and Jamaica.[9]
