Moxies, the premium casual Canadian concept known for its signature ambiance and high-quality made-in-house food and drink paired with top tier service, announces Glenn Moon as Vice President, U.S. Development. Moon joins the team to lead real estate acquisitions and franchise growth as the concept prepares for significant expansion.
“We are ready for exponential growth at Moxies and are excited to have Glenn join the team to lead our franchising efforts in the United States,” says Moxies President Joanne Forrester. “Not only does he bring extensive experience and relationships to the role, but more importantly he understands what truly makes Moxies so special and uniquely attractive for those interested in franchising in the restaurant industry.”
Prior to Moxies, Moon served as Vice President of Development for Twin Peaks Restaurants from February 2021-January 2023. In this role, Moon added 47 new opportunities in less than two years to the Twin Peaks domestic pipeline. Additional career highlights include Senior Vice President Business Development at Virdee; Managing Director of North American Urban Development at Best Western Hotels & Resorts; Vice President, Full Service & Lifestyle Brands for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts; and 13 years leading Cambria Hotels’ development in the western U.S.
About his new role Moon says, “I’m excited to join the Moxies team at this pivotal time to spearhead the growth for the brand as we seek AAA real estate opportunities and qualified franchise partners.”
He continues, “We are seeking well-capitalized, seasoned, multi-unit owners of casual dining concepts who have demonstrated expertise in high-volume ($10MM +) restaurants with 50/50 liquor to food mix.”
With momentum behind the concept and a blank slate in many major markets, Moon believes there’s never been a better time to join the growing brand. “The existing U.S. portfolio is performing at a very high level and sales continue to trend up. Additionally, the growth potential in the US is truly endless, as we’re continuously looking for new markets and premium locations to establish a presence, including several of the best food-driven markets in the country such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, and Washington D.C.”
“We are excited to add strong owner/operators to our team to help us bring our unique experience to everyone across the U.S,” Moon concludes.
