The restaurant, which plans to open in September, will be located at 3388 Princess Anne Road in Virginia Beach. The Virginia Beach location marks the first MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes restaurant for Keval Shah and Sanjay Patel, partners and MOOYAH franchisees. The team plans to bring an additional two restaurants to Virginia Beach.

Prior to franchising, Shah owned a construction company for 18 years. It wasn&rsquo;t long before he had the idea of opening a business of his own. Patel and Shah opened a Cold Stone Creamery together in Norfolk and they later experienced MOOYAH firsthand and knew it was a concept that they both wanted to join.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;We were at MOOYAH eating that delicious burger one day and just decided to go for it,&rdquo; said Shah. &ldquo;We were really enticed by the menu and the fact that MOOYAH is accommodating to any diner. We have options that work for keto, vegetarian, and really any nutritional preference. We&rsquo;re providing a great variety and it&rsquo;s a great-tasting, high-quality product.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Amy Mitchell will be the store manager for the Virginia Beach MOOYAH, and is excited about the opportunity. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m from the UK and have been in America for over two years this September,&rdquo; said Mitchell. &ldquo;We came to the land of opportunity to make a better life for my kids and I think it&rsquo;s been great. I&rsquo;m working for a great business and I love engaging with Guests and talking to them about my background. I think MOOYAH is going to be a hit here in Virginia Beach.&ldquo;

This marks the brand&rsquo;s first foray into Virginia Beach, as MOOYAH plans to partner with Shah and Patel to bring two additional locations to the area. In total, MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes will bring more than 60 jobs to Virginia Beach.

&ldquo;Virginia Beach is going to be a great addition to our restaurant expansion plans,&rdquo; said Tony Darden, MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes President and COO. &ldquo;We are accelerating our franchise development efforts, and we are looking for qualified Franchise Owners across the country who want to join our franchise family and bring our mouthwatering made-to-order burgers to new communities.&rdquo;

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&reg; brand burgers, all natural Jennie-O turkey and mouthwatering MorningStar Farms&reg; black bean veggie 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&#39;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&#39;s chocolate to Reese&#39;s, Oreo and more.
