During the course of this year, several chicken franchises, both large and small, have announced significant expansion ambitions. When it comes to chicken tenders, you may soon have a new place to go to if you are a lover of the dish.
The fast-casual business Huey Magoo’s, which is located in Florida and specializes in chicken tenders, made the announcement this week that it would be adding 42 outlets in three additional states: Texas, Arizona, and Virginia. With the addition of these additional franchises, the company will now be present in fifteen states for a total of more than two hundred and fifty outlets.
Huey Magoo’s intends to establish a total of 23 additional restaurants throughout the state of Texas, with ten of them located in San Antonio, ten further located in the Rio Grande Valley, and three more located in Laredo. Maricopa County will be home to twelve of the thirteen new restaurants that will be opening in Arizona. The firm has announced that it would be opening seven additional restaurants in the state of Virginia. These restaurants will be located in the counties of Albermarle, Augusta, Campbell, Montgomery, Roanoke, Rockbridge, and Rockingham.
According to a spokesperson of the business, Huey Magoo’s is now looking for potential sites and has the intention of opening the first of these cafes in the year 2025.
The restaurant company takes great satisfaction in the fact that it serves “the filet mignon of chicken,” underlining the fact that its tenders are prepared from the tenderloin, which it describes as “the best 3% of the chicken.” The tenders, as stated by Huey Magoo’s, only include natural ingredients and do not contain any preservatives. The menu has chicken tenders that are breaded as well as grilled, and consumers have the option of eating them as a meal or incorporating them into salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
In addition to the 42 franchises that were just recently announced, Huey Magoo’s is adding even more locations in the near future. The cities of Greenwood, South Carolina; Cape Coral and Tallahassee, Florida; Bellefontaine, Ohio; Perry, Georgia; and Tupelo, Mississippi are among the forthcoming site options. Furthermore, the chicken company is going to establish its very first airport store at the Sarasota-Bradententon International Airport in the state of Florida.
“When we initially began expanding outside of Florida, we had our sights set on the Southeast, so to now be able to call ourselves the nationwide brand is extraordinary,” Andy Howard, the CEO of the company, said in a statement. “Not only are we growing geographically to a far greater extent than what we had previously intended, but we are also further broadening the brand’s reach to encompass non-traditional types of settings, such as airports, hotels, sports stadiums, and college campuses. In the future, the sky is absolutely the limit, as we gaze forward.
Located in Central Florida, Huey Magoo’s was established in the year 2004. There are presently locations of the chain’s restaurants in the following states: Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Missouri, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee.
