<span style="Back Yard Burgers has been grilling up fan favorites for more than two decades, and our loyal fan base is steadily growing,&#8221; said Chief Executive Officer David McDougall. &#8220;Our commitment to quality begins with our dedicated owners and employees, and we were thrilled to get the chance to recognize their fantastic work at this year&#8217;s conference.&#8221; <span style="s Southhaven, Mississippi location garnered some of the highest employee satisfaction ratings in the Back Yard Burgers system, and the location has consistently ranked among the brand&#8217;s highest in comp sales and profitability. McGhee was recognized at the 2015 conference for embodying Back Yard Burgers&#8217; values by always putting customer needs first. <span style="s Columbus, Mississippi location recorded Back Yard Burgers&#8217; highest food quality score in a recent Market Force survey, netting her franchise the brand&#8217;s inaugural Golden Spatula Award. <span style="These awards recognize just a few of the dedicated partners that have already made 2015 a year to remember for Back Yard Burgers. Our new finance team has helped streamline our operations, and sales at our corporate stores are already up by six percent so far this year. The addition of an exciting new redesign of Back Yard Burgers locations set to launch later this year, combined with inventive and delicious new menu items, have set our brand up for even stronger growth in 2016 and beyond,&#8221; McDougall said. 2015 also marked the expansion of other key Back Yard Burgers partnerships, including popular Black Angus Back Yard Burgers patties . The offers will also include a &#8220;Pink Your Drink&#8221; campaign in October for breast cancer awareness month. Back Yard Burgers&#8217; partnership with Dine Out for No Kid Hungry is also expanding. The brand has set an ambitious goal to raise at least $50,000 to help combat childhood hunger in America during the annual fundraising drive that will run through the end of September.
