Just a few weeks following the opening of Central Florida-based Huey Magoo's first restaurant in Georgia, the brand opened its first unit in Sunrise, Florida, according to a company press release. The 1,875-square-foot store is the first of five restaurants in South Florida that Huey Magoo's franchisees Tyler and Bob Cafferty will open. The men are also in the final stages of a lease agreement in Coral Springs set to open in Summer 2020 and are looking at additional locations in Boca Raton, North Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano, Coconut Creek, Margate and Tamarac, Florida.

"After years of hard work and planning, it's a dream come true to finally share Huey Magoo's delicious tenders with everyone here in South Florida," Tyler Cafferty, said in the release. "As a huge fan of Huey Magoo's from when I was a student at The University of Central Florida, I have never felt more secure in our decision to join the Huey Magoo's family. We are excited to continue the tradition in South Florida and kick things off with our great location in Sunrise, not to mention give all the UCF alumni here a big treat."

Huey Magoo's was founded in 2004 by Matt Armstrong and Thad Hudgens, two southern boys with a passion for high-quality chicken and a penchant for serving others, according to the release.
