Established in 2010, Moe’s Lakewood was the first independently owned franchise within the Moe’s BBQ system. Today, there are approximately 50 locations nationwide, with six in Colorado (Eagle – corporate, Boulder, Englewood, Leadville, Steamboat Springs, and Lakewood).

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, turn-key BBQ restaurant with significant catering and event growth potential.

Business Overview:
Moe’s Lakewood has a long-standing community presence and prior strong revenue history:

2023 Revenue: $1,227,000
2024 Revenue: $973,295
2025 Revenue: $915,029

The revenue decline correlates primarily with ownership transition, reduced marketing activity, and limited catering execution—not product or brand deterioration. Marketing initiatives have recently been reinstated (Facebook ads, Instagram campaigns, catering email blasts), positioning the business for recovery and growth.

Moe's Franchise: Franchise transfer fee is nominal (in the world of franchises) with about 1 to 2 months vetting/approval process. Given the two solid high capacity smokers, the location is a "turn-key" bbq location.

Commissary: A little more than 1,000 square feet, the commissary is a fully licensed commissary through Jefferson County. Presently, there are two caterers out of Evergreen using it on an as needed basis.
