What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moe's Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Moe's Southwest Grill outlets operating in Arizona at the start of 2022. The provided table outlines the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for various states.
For Arizona specifically, the table shows that for the year 2022, the number of outlets at the start of the year was 0. This indicates that Moe's Southwest Grill did not have any operational franchises in Arizona at the beginning of 2022. Throughout 2022, no new Moe's Southwest Grill restaurants opened, and no existing locations closed, so the year ended with zero locations in Arizona.
Prospective franchisees should note that market presence can significantly impact the potential success of a new franchise. A lack of existing locations might present an opportunity to establish the brand in a new market, but it also means there is no established customer base or brand recognition. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to conduct thorough market research and discuss the franchisor's plans for supporting new market entries.
