Happy Joe’s is Bringing Smiles to New Guests with First Florida Location

Happy Joe’s is expanding to the shores of the Sunshine State. The restaurant will open its doors for the first time in Florida on September 27th and 28th to private invitation events and to the public at large on September 30th.

Jennifer and Jeff Harding broke ground on the new Happy Joe’s restaurant in Navarre in early 2024. Located at 2502 Highway 87 S, right off the highway and directly in front of Navarre High School, this location will be in the perfect spot to feed teams of student-athletes and fans after games, celebrate birthdays for kids of all ages and welcome families looking for a variety of pizza flavors and other signature menu items for lunch and dinner on its famous, endless buffet.

“We didn’t want to open just any restaurant,” Jennifer said. “We wanted something new for the area, but iconic in its own right. Nothing made more sense than Happy Joe’s and we are confident the community, and families specifically, are going to embrace the pizza and atmosphere as much as we have.”

“Happy Joe’s really is a giant family,” Chief Happiness Officer, CEO & President Tom Sacco said. “We take great pride in providing a safe, friendly atmosphere for kids who are working their first job, as well as managers who are looking for a long-term career path. This opportunity in Navarre is going to be a shining example of that.”
