Burger Chain Mooyah Opening New Location on May 30
It's certainly cause for celebration when a restaurant chain that's loved by the community is able to expand, especially with so many restaurant chains closing and even filing for bankruptcy. Plus, there's something special about seeing a brand thrive to the point where it can expand into different areas. Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes debuted in 2007 in Plano, Texas, and has grown to the point where the chain has more than 100 locations in multiple states and countries. Mooyah prides itself on "never-frozen beef, hand-cut fries, real ice cream shakes, and other delicious nouns preceded by quality-assuring adjectives," according to the company. Now, Mooyah is growing. The company announced the grand opening of a new location in Livermore, CA, on May 30, with a soft opening on May 19. According to a release, the Livermore location is the second Mooyah location in the Bay Area. Local resident Rikin Lakhani and his partners Ankit Patel, Sameet Patel and Shailain Patel will head its operations up. "After opening our first Mooyah in Walnut Creek, we saw firsthand how much guests love the brand — from the quality of the food to the overall experience," Lakhani, owner of the Walnut Creek and Livermore locations, said in a statement. "Everything from the Certified Angus Beef to the fresh-baked buns and hand-cut fries sets Mooyah apart," he added, noting that "flexibility" of the menu at Mooyah and its "focus on customization really let guests make each meal their own." Gary Lisenbee, VP of development and operations services, added, "We're excited to continue growing Mooya in the Bay Area with Rikin Lakhani and his partners at the helm. Rikin has already proven to be an outstanding operator with our Walnut Creek location, and his dedication to delivering a top-tier guest experience makes him a perfect fit to lead the charge in Livermore."
