Moe's Southwest Grill planning Arizona expansion into Goodyear

Goodyear is getting a Moe’s Southwest Grill.

The new location, at 15535 W. McDowell Road and scheduled to open in September, is one of five expected new Arizona locations.

Founded in 2000 and based in Atlanta, Moe's Southwest Grill serves fresh southwestern food, from burritos to specialty items like quesadillas, nachos and stacks. As of March, Moe’s Southwest Grill had approximately 600 locations.

GoTo Foods, the parent company of Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s, and Schlotzsky’s, announced the expansion of Moe’s Southwest Grill into Arizona with five locations coming to the Valley.

The father-son investment team of Tony and Namit Mangat, of Glendale, will bring the first Moe’s locations to the Phoenix Metro.

“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,” Tony Mangat shared in a press release.

The Mangats will open their first location at Pebble Creek Marketplace, Suite 170, 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.
