Premium casual restaurant brand Moxies is expanding into some of North America’s leading and emerging food and drink markets. On the heels of announcing their upcoming arrival in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, Moxies opens this November in Washington, D.C., with a flagship downtown location in the Golden Triangle near Dupont Circle.
Building on that momentum, deals are signed and space secured for two Austin, Texas, restaurants slated for summer 2026 and early 2027, giving the Lone Star State six Moxies locations.
Music City takes the stage in 2026, with Nashville welcoming Tennessee’s first Moxies. And in Florida, West Palm Beach (early 2026) Coral Gables and Orlando (2027) will bring the state to five locations, with agreements already in place.
“We’re thrilled to expand our footprint in the United States and in high-energy markets known for livability, travel and dining culture,” said Joanne Forrester, president and chief operating officer of Moxies. “Each new opening is an opportunity to share our signature hospitality and globally inspired dishes and cocktails with vibrant communities that we know will embrace them – communities that are also home to countless fans who have enjoyed Moxies in other markets.”
New franchisees remain central to Moxies’ U.S. expansion.
“Just as we did in Texas, Arizona and along the Eastern Seaboard in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boston, we have secured standout locations and need dynamic franchisee partners to join the team,” says Forrester. The brand leverages its proven development model, including real estate support, to ensure that partners share in its ongoing success.
