Brand History

Moe’s franchise was founded in the year of 2000 by Raving Brands. The name of the restaurant is the acronym for “Musicians, Outlaws, and Entertainers” and this theme determined the music-related artwork you can see in the original design.

However, the history of this restaurant chain starts back in the 1980s with the recent college student Martin Sprock. In his youth, he had a five-year job in the real estate business, but after his favorite bar closed, he reinvented himself as a restaurant owner. So, he made team with the bar’s former owner and reopened the bar in another location.

This first bar was a real success, so Sprock started to buy and build bars throughout Southwest America. Though, he wanted something else and sold his bar business to create the family-oriented fun restaurant, Planet Smoothie.

The first Planet Smoothie restaurant was opened in 1995 in Atlanta Georgia. Though this franchise stopped developing in 2000 and Sprock was looking for other restaurant ideas. As a result, Moe’s restaurant was opened, which is something like a “Mexican Subway”, where customers are offered a healthy fast-food experience.

The first Moe’s Southwest Grill location opened outside the United States was in Turkey, in the year of 2011. The next year, in September 2012, they opened their first restaurant in Moscow, Russia.

Nowadays, there are more than 680 Moe’s restaurants located all over the United States.
