MOOYAH Burgers Fries Shakes, a fast-casual, “better burger” chain, has opened its seventh restaurant in the Kingdom. Located in Prince Muqrin Ibn Abdul Aziz Street in Al Nuzha District of the Saudi capital, the restaurant marks the 21st international location for MOOYAH since its launch in late 2013.
The Riyadh restaurants are owned and operated by Healthy Food Company Ltd., which has a multi-unit development agreement with Menafex LLC, MOOYAH’s international development partner. Founded 10 years ago in Dallas, Texas, MOOYAH has experienced impressive growth, expanding from a regional Texas brand into a national player and a leader in the growing “better burger” segment of fast-casual dining. The brand currently operates in 10 countries and 17 US states.
Founded in 2007, the Plano, Texas-based company serves fresh, lean American beef, all-natural Jennie turkey burgers, black bean veggie burgers, buns baked in house daily, real cheeses and toppings made from garden-fresh veggies. While many guests dine in restaurant, MOOYAH also offers online ordering and carry out for guests on the go. In 2015, MOOYAH was ranked No. 46 in Fast Casual Magazine’s annual Top 100 Movers & Shakers, a list they have been included in for several years in a row.
The brand also ranked 2nd in Best Fast Casual Restaurant Franchise Company, 4th in Best Restaurant Franchise Company, and 7th in Best Overall Franchises Company by Franchiserankings.com.
