MOOYAH expanding Texas footprint

July 10, 2013

Plano, Texas, is now home to a new MOOYAH. The restaurant opens this week in Plano Spring Creek at 6100 Avenue K #104C. With 34 restaurants open in Texas, MOOYAH is proud to continue expanding in its headquarters of Plano, said Alexis Barnett Gillette, director of marketing for MOOYAH.

"We're very excited to continue growing in the city of Plano and the state of Texas, bringing a better, customizable burger concept throughout communities in our home state," she said. "Our guests are the driving force behind our success and growth, so we're very eager to celebrate and honor our fans, both old and new, through our newest restaurant opening."

Mahfuz Rahman, the franchisee of the newest location, is a former accountant with experience in the hotel and restaurant industries. Prior to MOOYAH, he worked in finance for brands such as Sheraton Hotels, InterContinental Hotels and W Hotels. His partner and cousin, Tanveer Rahman, brings experience in marketing to the team, most recently at American Airlines. The duo is looking forward to utilizing both of their backgrounds, as Mahfuz will handle the management and finances of the Plano restaurant while Tanveer will focus on its operations.

"After spending time on the hotel, food and beverage side of finance and accounting, I knew I had the skill set to open a franchise," Mahfuz said. "But to be a part of MOOYAH, a franchise that my wife, son and daughter love, is extremely exciting. Our location at Spring Creek Plaza is great and the restaurant is beautiful; I cannot wait to share the MOOYAH experience with our fans and guests."
