In early October, Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes announced two executive moves to support the brand’s strong growth. Michael Mabry, who formerly served as Director of Franchise Sales will now spearhead the chain’s franchise development and operations as Vice President of Operations/Franchise Development. Additionally, Carrie Evans has joined the team as Franchise Development Manager. Ms. Evans was previously with CiCi’s Pizza and will now be charged with handling the day-to-day process of franchise development for Mooyah Burgers. Mooyah has experienced strong growth in the last several years, expanding from a Texas brand into an emerging national player in the growing ‘better burger’ segment of fast-casual dining. The brand is currently in eleven states and has nearly doubled its number of restaurants from 25 to 48 in 2012. In 2013, Mooyah is continuing its expansion, with one restaurant open in Dubai and additional plans to grow internationally and total nearly 65 restaurants.
