“The Dallas area is our home and where the MOOYAH dream started, so we are extremely proud to open our 25th location in the areaand hope to bring even more locations to feed the cravings of our Guests that call the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area home,” said Michael Mabry, chief operating officer of MOOYAH. “Things really are bigger in Texas, and we’ll continue opening new MOOYAH restaurants in the area as our Guests demand more MOOYAH.”

Khandoker and Niaz have been good friends for a number of years since moving to the United States, and are excited to be opening theirfirst restaurant together. The partners have experience in the restaurant industry. Khandoker previously worked as an assistant manager at Taco Bell and Niaz has experience in the Arby’s restaurant system.

“Both Jahid and I worked in the fast-food industry but for our first restaurant we wanted to find an elevated way for families and friends to enjoy a good meal together with a quality product that is second-to-none,” Khandoker said. “With MOOYAH, we found a hometown brand that simply does burgers better and we are confident that the people of Arlington will love the MOOYAH experience once they come and dine with us. “

The partners first learned of MOOYAH when Rahim’s daughter introduced him to the brand. They had already been looking to open a franchise restaurant, and after visiting one day and tasting the food, they knew they had found the right opportunity for them.

“It’s an exciting time for MOOYAH and the Arlington market has the perfect mixture of foodies and families for the brand to grow,” said Mabry. “We are excited to start serving up customizable and delicious burgers to even more folks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.”

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, applewood smoked baked, sliced avocado, along with nine free veggie toppings and 11 free sauces.
