5 Units and Growing For Hwy 55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries Master Franchisee

Master franchisee Derrick Maddox has been busy putting the finishing touches on his newest Hwy 55 Burgers, Shakes & Fries location that opened this week in Hoover, Alabama, just outside Birmingham. Maddox, who has exclusive development rights to the state, now has 5 units under his watch.

The newest All-American, retro-themed diner location features its signature never-frozen burgers, premium sliced cheesesteaks piled high on steamed hoagies, and frozen custard made in-house every day. Alabamans are discovering Hwy 55 and like what they have found.

“I fell in love with the Hwy 55 brand the moment I walked in the door. After I opened our Tuscaloosa location two years ago, I knew I wanted to bring good times and great food to the fine folks in the Birmingham area,” said Maddox. “We are thrilled to be a part of the Hoover community. The people here are polite and helpful so we know Hwy 55’s family-friendly concept and dedication to authentic hospitality will fit right in.”

Hwy 55 is celebrating its 27th year in business and has sold the rights to more than 1,000 franchise locations around the world. The brand has also signed franchise agreements for West Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, and southern Indiana and Virginia in the past year. The brand plans to open approximately 25 locations in 2018.
