Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Mojo Burrito is rolling into Dunwoody.
The three-unit burrito chain will open its first restaurant outside of its Chattanooga home base in Dunwoody Village later this spring. Mojo will occupy a roughly 2,300 s/f space next to Blooms of Dunwoody, in the shopping center anchored by The Fresh Market and also home to Walgreens and the more recent addition of Marlow’s Tavern. For all my ITP readers, Dunwoody Village is also home to Dunwoody Prep, the site of the murder of Rusty Sneiderman in November 2010. It is a few miles from Perimeter Mall, bounded by Chamblee-Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Highway. Mojo’s nearest competition will come from a Moe’s Southwest Grill, located in the Publix-anchored Dunwoody Hall shopping center, a stone’s throw from Dunwoody Village.
Mojo has been around for ten years and according to their website, is a big supporter of local artists and makes an effort to feature their work in the restaurants. Sources tell me the Dunwoody location will be a corporately owned store.
