UPLAND, Calif. –<a href="http://www.mooyah.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> MOOYAH</a> Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes, a fast casual, “better burger” franchise, is getting ready to extend its California footprint by opening a new location in Upland later this year. The restaurant will be located at 65 E Foothill Blvd in the Upland Village Center. The Upland opening marks the first MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes restaurant for Franchise Owners Kit Chui and Hank Lu who believe its casual dine-in experience and versatility in delivery, curbside pick-up and to-go options for Guests will help to introduce the next-level burger restaurant to the people of Upland, California however they prefer to enjoy their meal. Once the Upland&nbsp; restaurant is established, Chui and Lin are planning to bring two more locations to Ontario and Claremont shortly after.“When exploring different franchise opportunities, we couldn’t find anything like the high-quality options MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes has to offer,” said Lu. “We looked at other ‘better-burger’ competitors like BurgerIM, but MOOYAH was the standout choice for us based on the experience and quality food that will be perfect in Upland, Ontario and Claremont.”Chui and Lu moved to Southern California from China in the late 80s and became close friends shortly after. Both working in the computer industry, the duo met because Lu was Chui’s computer supplier. With decades of friendship, the two have also worked together at multiple technology companies.The business partners have dreamed of opening their own business together for the past several years, and they narrowed in on the restaurant industry knowing that Chui’s experience owning First Szechaun, a Chinese restaurant in Westwood, would help set them up for success. The duo considered opening a restaurant from scratch, but they chose to go into franchising to be able to follow a proven system and for stronger financial security for their ultimate retirement.&nbsp;“Kit and Hank are going to be strong operators as they open their first MOOYAH and have plans to add two additional locations amongst our additional expansion to add locations across California,” said MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes President Tony Darden. “The duo is dedicated to excellence and has experience in the restaurant industry. They no doubt will be bringing our world-class burgers, fries and shakes to the folks of Upland to enjoy however they please - through curbside pick-up, to-go, delivery - or in our dining rooms which will hopefully be open by the time this restaurant opens later this year.”In February, MOOYAH opened its first restaurant featuring the new prototype that showcases new dining zones and seating arrangements, purposeful third-party and to-go shelving, a closed kitchen, digital menu boards, and a new logo. The Upland restaurant will be one of the first 10 locations nationally to be designed with the updated look.At MOOYAH, Guests have the advantage of choosing from a variety of bun options, such as baked-in-house artisan potato or multigrain wheat non-GMO buns and hand-crafted lettuce buns called Iceburgers to accompany the never-frozen, 100 percent Certified Angus Beef® brand burgers, all natural Jennie-O turkey and Dr. Praeger’s black bean vegan burgers. Each gourmet burger can be customized with six cheeses, Applewood smoked bacon and sliced avocado, along with ten free veggie toppings and ten free sauces.MOOYAH's hand-cut 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 100 percent real ice cream shakes, allowing Guests to choose from 7 flavors ranging from vanilla and Hershey's chocolate to Reese's, Oreo and more.For more information on the growing brand, be sure to connect with MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes on the Facebook<a href="http://www.facebook.com/Mooyah?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Fan page</a>, and follow<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/mooyah-burgers-fries-and-shakes?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> MOOYAH</a> on LinkedIn, Twitter<a href="https://twitter.com/mooyahburgers?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> @MOOYAHburgers</a> and Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mooyahburgers/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> @MOOYAHburgers</a>.&nbsp;For franchising opportunities, please visit<a href="http://franchise.mooyah.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-burgers-fries-shakes-to-provide-guests-with-its-mouthwatering-customizable-meals-in-upland-california-2713578" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> franchise.mooyah.com</a>.<h4>ABOUT MOOYAH BURGERS FRIES &amp; SHAKES</h4>MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes is a fast-casual, “better burger” concept offering mouthwatering made-to-order burgers, French fries hand cut from Idaho potatoes, and real ice cream shakes.
