Moe's Southwest Grill Franchise Model Overview

Moe's restaurants serve customizable Southwest-style food from an assembly line in fast-casual dining rooms, with catering as a meaningful revenue line. The brand competes with Chipotle and Qdoba and is part of the Focus Brands (now GoTo Foods) portfolio alongside Auntie Anne's, Cinnabon, and Schlotzsky's, which allows co-branding in some formats. The system is entirely franchised and has been contracting, with closures in over-built markets, so a buyer should weigh the specific restaurant's trade area.

Ideal owner profile

Fast-casual restaurant operator, single- or multi-unit
Willing to evaluate a resale carefully in a brand that has been shrinking
