Moe’s Southwest Grill Opening First Location in Denville

DENVILLE, N.J. – October 31, 2013 – “Welcome to Moe’s!” will soon be heard on the streets of Denville when Moe’s Southwest Grill® opens at 16 W. Main Street on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013. This is the very first Moe’s in Denville and is owned by franchisee Mukesh Patel.

This Moe’s opening marks the first of four locations Patel plans to open in the region. In addition to being a Moe’s franchisee, Patel owns 11 businesses throughout New Jersey including convenient stores, laundry mats, dry cleaners, a deli and a liquor store.

The new restaurant in Denville is 3,550 square feet, will seat up to 110 guests and employ 22 local residents. To add excitement on opening day, every guest will receive free chips and salsa and other freebies will be given out throughout the day.

“Moe’s has a growing presence in New Jersey and it’s time Denville residents got a chance to try the delicious food and experience the fun atmosphere of our restaurants,” said Patel. “We are thrilled to begin our expansion in Denville and the surrounding communities.”

“Welcome to Moe’s!” is more than a greeting; it’s a way of life for the folks who customize each meal fresh-to-order in front of every guest. All meals, including signature menu items like the Homewrecker burrito, Close Talker salad and John Coctostan quesadilla, are served with free chips and salsa. While Moe’s is best known for its burritos, packed with a choice of more than 20 fresh ingredients, the menu also features kid’s, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-friendly options.

Guests can also try the new Coca-Cola Freestyle® soda fountain. The sleek, stylish new fountains are touch-screen operated, enabling consumers to select from more than 100 regular and low-calorie beverage brands – including more than 70 diet or low-calorie and 90 caffeine-free beverages, 80-plus unique brands offered nowhere else, and many varieties of waters, sports drinks, lemonades and sparkling beverages that, prior to the arrival of Coca-Cola Freestyle, were not available in the U.S.

Ranked the No. 1 Mexican food concept by leading research group Technomic in 2013, Atlanta-based Moe’s Southwest Grill serves fresh, made-to-order burritos and southwest fare in a fun and laid-back environment. Moe’s in Denville will be open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, guests may call 973-784-4714 or visit www.moes.com.
