Moe’s Southwest Grill Opening New Location in West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT – “Welcome to Moe’s” will soon be heard on the streets of West Hartford when Moe’s Southwest Grill opens at 722 N Main Street in the Crossroads Plaza, Bishops Corner. The opening will take place on Friday, May 5, at 11 a.m.

On May 4, the West Hartford Moe’s will be hosting a fundraiser from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with all proceeds donated to Conard High School’s Safe Grad program. All guests at the fundraiser will receive an entrée, drink and t-shirt for $10.

The Safe Grad program provides a drug and alcohol free post-graduation celebration for all graduates. (To sign up for West Hartford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

On opening day, May 5, two lucky guests will receive free burritos for a year. By filling out an entry form on grand opening day, guests can enter into a raffle to win the prize of one free burrito per week for a year, at the West Hartford Moe’s.

Entry forms must include name, phone number, and email address. On opening day, the West Hartford Moe’s will also offer $5 burritos all day long, limit 1 per person and in store only.

The restaurant will be giving away free t-shirts on May 5 while supplies last.

The West Hartford Moe’s is owned by franchisees Matt Rusconi and David Vorchheimer who own and operate 11 additional locations in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The owners plan to continue expanding Moe’s presence in the coming years, including restaurants coming soon to Norwich and Dayville.

“Moe’s is a rapidly growing brand with a loyal following across the country and we’re excited to bring Moe’s fresh, flavorful food and family-friendly atmosphere to West Hartford,” Rusconi said in a release. “We’re eager to open our doors and look forward to building long-lasting relationships with our guests and the community.”

There are three things Moe’s newbies should know:

• the crew will say “welcome to Moe’s!” when you walk in the door (don’t be jolted – it’s normal)
• the most popular burrito is lovingly called the Homewrecker
• Moe’s Famous Queso is famous for a reason

Each meal is created-to-order in a way that is as unique as the people Moe’s serves. No matter the meal, guests can always count on getting free chips and salsa.

Moe’s offers one-of-a-kind caterings filled with flavorful options that please even the pickiest of eaters (vegetarian, gluten-sensitive, lower calorie). Call the catering line at 860-798-4767 or check online for more information.
