}}Hwy 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries is a fast casual restaurant chain that operates primarily on the East Coast of the United States.[4] Formerly known as Andy's Cheesesteaks and Cheeseburgers,[4] the first location opened in Goldsboro, North Carolina, in 1991.[1] It now has 135 restaurants in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Denmark.[9]

History and operations

Kenney Moore began the business in 1991 by opening a now-defunct restaurant in Goldsboro, North Carolina's Berkeley Mall.[5] He asked the owners of his equipment to in-house finance his operation as he only had $500 to his name.[5] Moore quickly acquired three more closed restaurants and found himself $30,000 in debt to his foodservice distributor.[5] After adapting Robert K. Greenleaf's philosophy of servant leadership, his fortunes turned.[6] Moore switched to a franchisee style of ownership and Andy's Cheesesteaks and Cheeseburgers expanded throughout Eastern North Carolina.[7]

In February 2012, Andy's announced that it had changed its name to Hwy 55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries, an homage to North Carolina Highway 55, which runs across the state. The company's decor, always influenced by 1950s-era diners, also took on a pink-and-teal color scheme.[8][9] In May, the company opened a franchised store in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the first location outside the state of North Carolina.[10] The first international locations followed in 2014 with openings in Abu Dhabi. In 2012, Moore said that he hopes to open 500 restaurants globally in the next seven years.[11]

In 2013, Hwy 55 was named a top-40 food franchise by the Franchise Business Review.[12] Also in 2013, Hwy 55 began its Canadian operations in Oakville, Ontario. That location has since been closed and now operates independently as Gazebo Burger.

Restaurants

A Hwy 55 restaurant usually has a 1950s theme, with pink-and-teal color accents and '50s decor mounted on the walls.[13] Kitchens are open, whereby customers can watch cooks grill their food.[14][15]

Charity

In 2006, Hwy 55 created the Andy's Charitable Foundation, Inc. as a 501(C)3 corporation with the "mission to serve the common good of all people in our hometowns." To date, it has raised over $1,400,000 for local charities, including the Miracle League of the Triangle, of which it is a major sponsor. A Miracle League field in Cary, North Carolina is named after the foundation.[16][17]
