Moe's Southwest Grill heading to South Whitehall

A restaurant chain already established in the Lehigh Valley is opening a second site in South Whitehall.

Moe's Southwest Grill will be located at the Tilghman Square Shopping Center.

South Whitehall commissioners granted preliminary/final approval on Wednesday to the land development plan for the 34-acre shopping destination at 4650 Broadway in order to accept Moe's as the latest tenant there.

Yogesh Patel, owner of the Moe's at 3211 Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem, said he hopes to have the 4,100 square foot establishment open in time for the holiday season after five to six months of construction.

Moe's will join Staples and AMC Theaters as anchor tenants at the establishment, along with Red Robin, Planet Fitness and Univest Bank. The shopping center is owned by Larken Associates, Hillsborough, N.J.

The restaurant/caterer is likely the last piece of the puzzle at the center, located across from St. Luke's West End Medical Center.

"It's pretty-much maxed-out," Ana Martins, project manager for Van Cleef Engineering Associates, said of Tilghman Square.

All permits are in-hand to proceed with construction, she said.

Moe's isn't stopping there, however. Patel said he will be opening yet another establishment in either Easton or across the state line in Phillipsburg, N.J.

"That's definite," he said.
