MOOYAH heads to Sunshine State

August 8, 2011

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries, and Shakes, which currently has more than 22 openlocations across the country, is bringing its better burgers to Florida. Through a development agreement with Justin Church and David Tennyson, MOOYAH restaurants will open in northern and central Florida, as well as the state’s west coast.

Tennyson, a native of St. Augustine, Fla., has been in the franchise business since 1989 and a franchisee in Florida since 2003. Over the next several years, he will concentrate MOOYAH’s growth in the northeastern Florida counties of Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Nassau, Putnam, St. John's, Suwannee, Taylor, Union, Flagler, Volusia and Brevard.

“I am excited to introduce the MOOYAH experience to Florida residents,” Tennyson said. “MOOYAH is one of the most exciting franchise concepts to arrive in a long time. I see huge opportunities for growth in the better burger segment and MOOYAH is the natural choice for a high-quality, family friendly product poised for success.”

Meanwhile, fellow development agent Justin Church will focus on building the MOOYAH brand in key cities including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Lake Placid, Fort Myers and Naples. After working in his family’s franchisee business for more than 10 years, Church is relocating from Tennessee to Tampa where he will oversee the development of new restaurants.
