- Augusta’s favorite burrito joint opens in Augusta Mall THURSDAY!
AUGUSTA, GA (November 30, 2010) – “Welcome to Moe’s!” will soon be heard throughout Augusta when Moe’s Southwest Grill located at 3450 Wrightsboro Rd opens for business on Thursday, December 2. Named Healthiest Menu by Augusta Family and Best Burrito by the Free Times and Augusta Magazine, Atlanta based Moe’s Southwest Grill serves fresh made-to-order burritos and southwest fare in a fun and laid back environment.
To build excitement behind the upcoming opening, Moe’s Augusta is hosting a Facebook challenge. If they can get 3,000 people to “Like” Moe’s Augusta before their opening date, Moe’s will host a free burrito day on December 23.
Additionally, Moe’s will give the first 100 people in line on their first three days of business a free burrito. Moe’s will announce their grand opening date on their Facebook page.
“We already have great fans in Augusta and are excited to provide an additional location for them to enjoy their favorite meal,” says Steve Taylor, local owner and operator. “It’s going to be a lot of fun rewarding our most loyal guests with free burritos in the first month of business.”
When you walk into Augusta’s newest burrito joint the first thing you’ll hear is “Welcome to Moe’s!” It’s more than a greeting; it’s a way of life for the folks who customize each meal fresh to order right in front of the guest.
All meals including signature items like the Homewrecker burrito, Close Talker salad and John Coctostan quesadilla are served with free chips and salsa. While Moe’s is best known for its burritos packed with a choice of over 20 fresh ingredients, the menu also features kid’s, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
On Moe Monday any burrito, chips and a drink are $5. Tuesday is Kids Eat Free day with the purchase of an adult meal. Military personnel and their families can enjoy 20 percent off their meal on AWOL Wednesday. For a unique catering experience with the ability to customize for large groups, guests may call 706-733-8400.

If you have not already seen (our Facebook notice) or otherwise heard; we are having a huge sale here this Fri. and Sat. during our normal store hours. We’re clearing out a 38 year collection ( you know pretty well how much is being stored on the 2nd floor ) of frames, prints, mirrors, original artwork and just about everything else. In order to reduce our inventory tax at the end of the year (can’t believe we’ve never done this) and help offset the cost of the new inventory coming in. We’re clearing the attic and will be offering everything at drastic savings, during our 1st time ever, Pre-Christmas/ Holiday Parking Lot Sale.
Please feel free to bring a friend and pass this along, but remember; get here early for the best bargains (sorry we’ll not be doing any pre sale viewings) and don’t forget to dress warm.
Regards, Ed
