This is really the culmination of a lot of time, effort and hard work by my team, who we are extremely appreciative of. Kingsport is a great area to be in. We’ve been eyeing the tri-cities area for some time and were thrilled when the opportunity presented itself to enter the market. We’re elated to be here and serve the Kingsport community for years to come.” Howard continues, “This is an exceptionally thrilling opening for the entire brand as it’s the very first Huey Magoo’s restaurant in Tennessee. We are very fortunate to have our excellent franchise team the Mundy’s spearheading our growth there, and we look forward to seeing them open many more restaurants throughout the state.”
