Mexican Restaurant Closes Permanently In Burlington Co.

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ — Moe's Southwest Grill in Mount Laurel permanently closed this past weekend.

Employees were given only six days' notice about the closure, according to a social media post from the location's general manager.

The GM relayed a message that said due to "a year of rough sales and rising costs ultimately it is the best decision, as we can not (sic) afford to pay rent and salaries going forward."

A Moe's spokesperson said the closure came down to "a number of factors."

"Moe’s Southwest Grill continues to grow, opening new restaurants across the country," the spokesperson said.

There are now only two Moe's restaurants in South Jersey, which are in Deptford and Millville.

Moe's Southwest Grill has about 570 locations offering Mexican and southwestern fare.
