“Welcome to Moe’s!” was finally heard in Salisbury when Moe’s Southwest Grill opened its doors on Friday.

“We love making an immediate impact on the community by giving back even before we bring in a single dollar. It’s our way of saying we believe in this community, and we want to do our part to connect with its residents. I can’t think of a better way to do this than by inviting them in for a sneak peek and by partnering with local schools to help them raise funds,” said Larry Wilson, Moe’s Southwest Grill franchisee.

Wilson owns several Moe’s restaurants throughout New York and Pennsylvania. This marks his first Moe’s Southwest Grill location in Maryland.

Wilson was named Moe’s Top Franchisee worldwide last year for his aggressive expansion and the successful operation and growth of his stores.

Founded in 2000 in Atlanta, Moe’s Southwest Grill is a fast-casual restaurant franchise featuring fresh, handmade, customizable southwestern food in a welcoming environment.
