Cici's veteran Evans joins development team led by Mabry.

To help manage its growth, MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, a fast-casual, better burger chain, updated its franchise development team. MOOYAH promoted Michael Mabry to vice president of operations/franchise development and named Carrie Evans franchise development manager.

Mabry's first venture into the restaurant industry was a catering business he developed in 1989. In 1992, he joined Brinker International as executive chef for Romano's Macaroni Grill. While at Brinker, Mabry advanced to general manager and to director of franchise. He then served as vice president of Tin Star followed by leading franchise development for Boston's The Gourmet Pizza before joining MOOYAH.

Evans comes to MOOYAH from CiCi's Pizza.

During the past 24 months, MOOYAH has inked franchise development agreements that will lead to the opening of 50 restaurants.
