Each gourmet burger can be customized with five cheese options, applewood smoked bacon, sliced avocado, along with nine free veggie toppings and 11 free sauces.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">MOOYAH French fries come together in a six-step process that takes a total of 24 hours to completely prepare.

Guests also have the choice of savory sweet potato fries. Never one to forget dessert, MOOYAH offers real ice cream shakes, allowing Guests to choose from 10 flavors ranging from vanilla to Hershey&#8217;s chocolate to Reese&#8217;s to strawberry banana and more.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">In 2015, MOOYAH is on pace to open 30 new locations and reach the milestone of 100 before the close of the year.
