<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>.

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?

We aim to be more than just a business, but also to be an asset to the people that support us every day. We plan on forming a charity, when we get to that point, that&#8217;s specific to our family. Breast cancer has had a massive impact on our family, so we plan to focus on breast cancer support in addition to all the other community needs and requests that we get.</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">Do you have any other interesting hobbies or passions?</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&#8217;m big into the outdoors, I love spending time with my wife and our three dogs hiking, biking, water sports and really anything outside.</span></p>
