East Brunswick, New Jersey, will soon be home to the 700th Moe’s Southwest Grill.

“Last year, Moe’s Southwest Grill opened 66 new restaurants, and the brand continues to experience growth in new and existing markets that wouldn’t be possible without our passionate and dedicated franchisees,” Bruce Schroder, president of Moe’s Southwest Grill, said in a company press release. “We are proud to reach the 700th restaurant opening milestone because each new location creates jobs, develops leaders and gives back to the local community in meaningful ways.”

The Moe’s East Brunswick, 326 Route 18 North, will open Sept. 21, under the direction of franchisee Nori Khan.

“The most exciting part of bringing Moe’s to a new community is introducing the extensive variety of fresh ingredients and southwestern combinations we serve that please the entire family — no matter what they’re craving,” said Khan, who has been a Moe’s franchisee since 2009, and owns and operates seven locations throughout New Jersey.

Over his franchisee career with Moe’s, Khan has created more than 150 job opportunities in the state of New Jersey.
