For 25 years, the family worked in real estate development and management &#8211; building shopping centers with successful businesses. Faysal got his start with the Great Steak &amp; Potato restaurant and Kal began his entrepreneurial career with a chain of cell phone stores.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">&#8220;The Oak Lawn community has really embraced MOOYAH, and we expect to see Joliet become quick fans of the product and concept, as well,&#8221; said Michael Mabry, chief operating officer of MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes. &#8220;Our family-friendly atmosphere and fresh quality product excels in communities like Joliet, and we can&#8217;t wait to open the doors and continue expanding throughout the area.&#8221;</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">The Mohameds have signed-on to open ten locations throughout the Chicago suburbs. With Oak Lawn and Joliet now up and running, they&#8217;ll begin searching for real estate for their next location.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">At MOOYAH, Guests have the advantage of choosing from a variety of bun options, such as baked in-house artisan white or multigrain wheat buns and hand-crafted lettuce buns to accompany the never-frozen 100 percent American beef patty, all-natural Jennie-O turkey patty or the mouthwatering black bean veggie patty. 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. A delightful combination of constant attention and a little magic help transform U.S. #1 Idaho potatoes into perfect, crisp-on-the-outside and fluffy-on-the-inside fries. 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. The booming better burger brand is set to enter several new states in 2015, with the first MOOYAH restaurants in New York, Massachusetts, and Florida. Additionally, the brand will increase their established presence in states including California, Texas, Illinois, and Louisiana. The brand continues to spread the unique MOOYAH experience beyond domestic borders too. MOOYAH will open their first restaurant in Qatar in 2015, marking the 7th country MOOYAH has entered outside the U.S.</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span style="">For more information of franchising, click <a href="http://www.mooyahfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=father-and-son-duo-opens-mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-in-joliet-ill-2946" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
