What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Moe's Southwest Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2022, there were a total of 637 outlets. This total comprises 636 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the overall size and structure of the Moe's Southwest Grill system. It shows the relative proportion of franchised versus company-owned locations, which can provide insights into the company's franchising strategy.
The FDD also indicates a net decrease of 22 outlets during 2022. This suggests that while new Moe's Southwest Grill locations may have opened, a greater number closed or otherwise ceased operating during the year. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons for this net decrease to better understand the health and stability of the franchise system.
