What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moes Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet operating in California at the start of 2022. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start of the year, the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a very limited presence of Moes Southwest Grill in California as of the beginning of 2022. The presence remained the same through 2023 and 2024. This could represent both an opportunity and a risk. The limited presence could mean less brand recognition in the state, requiring more effort in marketing and establishing the brand.
However, it could also mean less competition from existing Moes Southwest Grill locations, providing a larger potential market share for a new franchisee. It is important to note that these numbers reflect the situation as of the end of 2024, and the number of outlets could have changed since then. A prospective franchisee should investigate the current market conditions and growth plans for Moes Southwest Grill in California to assess the potential for success.
