Putting it all on the line and Pivoting Successfully through Covid with Travis Odom of Moe’s Southwest Grill | Ep 19
About this episode
This week we’ve got a great show with Travis Odom, Travis is a Moe’s Southwest Grill franchisee that has grown from 1 location in 2009 to now 11 throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. In this episode Travis talks about putting it all on the line when they opened up their first location. Travis, his wife & 2-year old moved into his in-laws house and lived there for 3 years while they built up the business.
COVID had a huge impact on every restaurant business including Moe’s. Travis talks about how they pivoted, offering “pop-up” events that would bring food into local neighborhoods and donate a portion of the sales to a specific charity. This program has been so successful that it will probably become a permanent fixture for his company.
