## Story

After receiving rave reviews from its first locations in Louisiana, MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, a fast casual, “better burger” chain, is expanding in greater Baton Rouge with a new restaurant set to open on December 14, 2015 at 2706 S. Cabela’s Parkway in Gonzales.

MOOYAH continues to expand in the Bayou State with the help of experienced franchisees Chad Calongne and Ryan Brach. These Louisiana natives make the perfect team to develop MOOYAH due to Chad’s commercial real estate experience and Ryan’s franchising industry background. The duo currently own five area Rotolo’s Pizza locations.

“We were looking for the right opportunity to expand our portfolio, and once we tried MOOYAH in Baton Rouge, we knew that this would be a great fit for Ascension Parish,” said Calongne. “The fun atmosphere, great service and, of course, the stellar food, sealed the deal for us. We’re ready to bring this brand to Gonzales and to continue the expansion with a second restaurant in the area within the next two years.”
