The Mexican fast-casual restaurant, Moe’s Southwest Grill, known for burritos, tacos, bowls and more, has announced that it will open its first stores in Arizona through a five-unit franchise agreement that will bring locations to the greater Phoenix area.
The first location is set to open at Pebble Creek Marketplace in Goodyear in September. Target markets for additional locations include Buckeye, Glendale and Peoria, among others. All five restaurants are projected to be open and operating over the next five years.
“As proud Arizona residents, my son and I are excited for the opportunity to be the first to bring Moe’s Southwest Grill to the state,” said Tony Mangat, the franchisee bringing the chain to the Grand Canyon State with his son Namit. “We’ve wanted to make the jump into the fast casual space for a while, and with GoTo Foods we know that we are partnering with a growing and sustainable concept that will continue to allow us to build our portfolio as a father-son team.”
