Mooyah expands to Burleson, Texas

March 24, 2011

This summer, residents of Burleson, Texas, will have the opportunity to experience MOOYAH Burgers & Fries as it moves into McAlister Square. The franchise owners, brothers-in-law Bailey McGuire and Frank Sciuto, are slated to open the first location in June.

“Burleson is a wonderful, growing community, and we’re eager to be part of it,” McGuire said. “We’re excited to support the schools and youth sports teams and really get to know the families that make Burleson such a special place.”

Last year, the America’s Promise Alliance (APA) named Burleson one of “100 Best Communities for Young People.” More than 350 communities in all 50 states were nominated for the honor. The APA is the nation’s largest partnership organization dedicated to youth and children.

Sciuto married McGuire’s sister five years ago, and coming together to run MOOYAH is a large part of what reunited the family to live in Texas. Sciuto is a California native while McGuire was raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and is a graduate of Southern Methodist University. He had been living in Chicago with his wife, Kristin, when discussions about opening a MOOYAH began.

“It was the reason we came back to Texas,” McGuire said. “MOOYAH’s great food and business philosophy is the perfect match for us.”
