    About Moe's Southwest Grill

    In December of 2000 in Atlanta, Ga. a handful of local entrepreneurs created Moe's Southwest Grill in the spirit of not-taking-yourself-too-seriously with menu names like the Homewrecker burrito, Closetalker salad and the Billy Barou nachos as well as a store design that includes abstract artwork with tongue-in-cheek sayings. Maybe it's the personal experience that keeps people coming back for more. Maybe it's the huge selection of customizable Southwest favorites. Or maybe it's the laid-back vibe and signature "Welcome to Moe's" greeting our customers hear each time they walk through the door. Regardless of the reason behind the popularity of the brand, it works - and now, after being purchased by FOCUS Brands, Inc., in August 2007, Moe's has more than 370 locations across the country with plans to grow domestically and internationally. As a testament to the wild popularity of the brand, Moe's was named the #1 fast-casual chain based on change in system-wide sales by QSR magazine and the #2 fast-casual chain under 300 units in 2006.

    About Bullritos

    Not just your average burrito joint. Inspired by the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, our unique bag'n'go philosophy paired with the highest quality ingredients, makes Bullritos a fresh & fun approach to burritos!
    Perhaps it was Founder Russell Ybarra's sprint with the bulls through the streets of Pamplona that inspired his "quick-casual" concept. Or maybe it was his passion for fresh Tex-Mex and quality ingredients that paved the way for his call-it-like-you-want-it, bull-themed burrito joint. Either way, his food-lovin' appetite for adventure led to the "Bullritos" concept, and a new era of burritos was born. Are your ready to grab this franchise by the horns? Bullritos is actively seeking fierce candidates with strong business and leadership skills in the food service industry to be account-a-bull for a Bullritos franchise.
