Moe’s Casa Mexicana is a quick casual restaurant concept developed by GoTo Foods as the international evolution of its established Moe’s Southwest Grill brand. With more than 540 locations across the U.S. and a master franchise agreement for 45 locations in India, GoTo Foods is now seeking a strategic partner to lead the expansion of Moe’s Casa Mexicana in Canada. The Atlanta-based global platform company has retained Jorge Lizan at Lizan Retail Advisors to handle that search. He, and GoTo Foods’ Senior Business Director LATAM Andres Munoz, are in Toronto in mid-August to meet with potential operators and investors interested in developing Moe’s in Canada. Experienced multi-unit restaurant operators, franchise groups, foodservice companies, retail developers, and investment groups interested in securing development rights are targeted. Created specifically for global markets, Moe’s Casa Mexicana blends authentic Mexican-inspired cuisine with localized menu adaptations to suit regional tastes while maintaining the brand’s core offerings of tacos, burritos, nachos and other customizable favourites. Developed using consumer research conducted across multiple countries, Moe’s Casa Mexicana features flexible restaurant formats ranging from dine-in locations to compact inline and 250 square foot kiosk models, making it adaptable to a variety of retail environments.
