“I am very excited to introduce MOOYAH to Carlsbad and the surrounding area,” Ash said. “The community will have the best tasting burger experience possible with made-to-order burgers, hand-cut French fries, and real ice cream shakes. With our fresh quality ingredients, there is something for everyone to enjoy at MOOYAH!”
Ash says it was always his dream to open his own restaurant. However, he wanted to ensure he knew everything about the business before making the leap. Over 20 years in Carlsbad, he built great relationships with many guests that became part of his family, and they are now excited for him to open his first location. Ash and his partners have built a strong partnership and have plans to invest in growing the MOOYAH brand across San Diego in the coming years.
“A commitment to serving our guests the best burger experience of their lives is the most important characteristic we look for in our owners, said Doug Willmarth, MOOYAH President. We are especially excited about Ash because he has both passion and extensive industry experience. I am excited to work with Ash and his team to bring the best tasting burgers, fries and shakes in town to Carlsbad.”
MOOYAH in Carlsbad will be open 11 a.m to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. MOOYAH has had a longstanding presence in California since 2012, with locations open in the Bay Area, Central and Southern California regions.
