Pei Wei Closes Moorestown Restaurant

MOORESTOWN, NJ — There's one less place to eat in the township. A popular Asian restaurant near the Moorestown Mall has closed its doors for good.

Pei Wei has abruptly closed its Moorestown location on the corner of Route 38 and Nixon Drive, the Courier Post reports. A sign on the door said the restaurant closed as of July 29, and directs customers to visit its nearby location in Cherry Hill.

The company told the newspaper the restaurant was closed after its lease expired. Moorestown residents were startled by the closing.

“Just found out Pei Wei is closing,” one person wrote. “Any way to save them? We love Pei Wei and Cherry Hill is a far drive.”

“Just saw that Pei Wei by Moorestown Mall is closed for good,” another said. “We just ate there last week. Does anyone know why they closed?”

The first Pei Wei opened in 2000, offering authentic Asian-inspired food, according to the company’s website. It has over 200 locations. Following the closing of the Moorestown location, there are only two restaurants in the state, in Cherry Hill and Princeton.
