“It’s a huge honor to have served the Central Florida community for the last 20 years,” says Amstrong and Hudgens. “Our guests have continued to enjoy the chicken tenders at Huey Magoos since our humble beginning in 2004 with our first location across from UCF. There is no better way to celebrate than with the opening of our franchise group’s new flagship location in Longwood, an area that we have had an interest in for many years, and we finally found an opportunity with excellent visibility and convenience for our guests.”


Howard continues, “What better timing to celebrate 20 years of Huey Magoo’s than with our incredible Co-Founders Matt and Thad’s newest store. From our birth in Central Florida to our boom across the Southeast and nationwide, it has been a true dream come true to witness the popularity of this unstoppable brand since myself and partners joined together with Matt and Thad to invest in the company. I always say we knew we had something special, and we were certainly right.”
