<p>Kyle Messmer, 30, originally attended school to be a chiropractor. He attended Southern Oregon University but left to pursue franchising when he realized his heart was in business. </p><div>&#8220;I wanted to have more interaction with different people and do what I knew I&#8217;d be more successful at,&#8221; he said. </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Messmer is no stranger to the franchise world, as his father&#8217;s been a franchisee for 22 years, primarily working with <a href="http://www.subway.com/subwayroot/default.aspx?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-franchisees-kyle-and-bryan-messmer-open-their-second-mooyah-location-in-colorado-1089" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Subway</a>. Messmer also has a history with the sub-sandwich company, and he opened 12 Subway locations in the Portland Metro area since 2006. </div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Mesmmer, along with his brother Bryan Messmer, opened their second <a href="http://www.mooyahfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-franchisees-kyle-and-bryan-messmer-open-their-second-mooyah-location-in-colorado-1089" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MOOYAH Burgers Fries &amp; Shakes</a> location yesterday in Thornton, Colorado. &nbsp;Their first location opened in Westminster, Colorado last September.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>How did you learn about the brand?</strong></div>  <p style="font-style: normal;">I learned about the brand through a development agent my father met at another restaurant opening. My dad basically told him I was looking at opportunities in Colorado, so that&#8217;s how we were introduced.</p>    <p style="font-style: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><strong><span style=" &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;Arial;color:#222222">Why did you choose an opportunity with MOOYAH?</span></strong></p>  <p style="font-style: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;Arial;color:#222222">I was basically turned on to MOOYAH by the development agent, and when I went and visited, I was blown away by the product; it was the selling point. I liked the fresh simplicity. Also how MOOYAH operates as a company, their core values and really giving back to the community really resonated with me. They also have developed a really cool environment for the employees and the customers. There are a lot of good values behind the brand and I'm excited to be a part of it.</span></p>    <p style="font-style: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-color: white; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><strong><span style="&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;Arial;color:#222222">Are you involved with any charities or do any community outreach with your business?
