Huey Magoo’s Opens in Aiken, South Carolina

The wait is over. Huey Magoo’s – the fast-casual brand famous for its bold flavors and hand-crafted chicken tenders, is bringing its fan-favorite tenders to Aiken, SC with the grand opening of its newest location. Huey Magoo’s expands its commitment to bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and made-to-order meals with the opening of its 89th restaurant nationwide. Every tender starts with the best 3 percent of the chicken—the tenderloin—and is served hand-breaded, 24-hour marinated and grilled, or “sauced” and tossed in buffalo, sweet red chili , lemon pepper or garlic parmesan for maximum flavor.

The 3,081 square-foot restaurant is situated on an endcap and features a pick-up window, offering guests a variety of convenient ways to enjoy their meal, including dine-in/out, takeout, catering, and online ordering through the Huey Magoo’s mobile app, website, and third-party delivery services such as DoorDash and Uber Eats. This location is owned and operated by Thomas P. Scarborough and Jeramie Martin, who together bring more than 40 years of experience in the restaurant industry and a shared passion for delivering an exceptional guest experience.

“Opening our first Huey Magoo’s in South Carolina, and my fourth location overall, is an exciting milestone,” said Thomas P. Scarborough, franchisee of Huey Magoo’s Aiken. “Aiken is a growing community with a strong appreciation for great food and hospitality, and we’re proud to bring Huey Magoo’s premium chicken tenders and welcoming experience to the area. Our team is excited to serve guests and become a go-to destination for fresh, made-to-order meals.”

The menu includes a robust selection of customizable options including fresh-made salads, sandwiches, wraps and the most popular choice, tender meals. Guests can also enjoy hand-spun chips, freshly prepared coleslaw, banana pudding, and house-made specialty dips—including Magoo’s, Spicy Magoo’s, and Ranch—showcasing the brand’s commitment to quality and freshness. These selections complement a wider variety of flavors – an additional six signature dips (buffalo, honey mustard, bbq, garlic parmesan, sweet red chili, and bleu cheese), and sides available to customize every meal.

Huey Magoo’s also recently introduced its all-new Grilled Tender Bites, a high-protein, snackable addition made from the best 3% of the chicken—the tenderloin. Marinated for 24 hours and grilled for maximum flavor, Grilled Tender Bites deliver the same juicy, premium taste in a convenient, on-the-go format, now available at the Aiken location and nationwide.

There’s even more to love with the recent launch of the Magoo’s Rewards loyalty program**,** where members earn points toward free food with every purchase. New users receive a Buy One Get One Free 10-piece Tender Bites meal with a beverage purchase to redeem within 30 days. Members earn 10 points per $1 spent, with catering orders earning one point per $1, making every meal—whether a quick bite or a group gathering—more rewarding. The Huey Magoo’s mobile app makes ordering, tracking rewards, and accessing exclusive offers easier than ever.

“Our continued expansion is powered by strong franchisee performance and repeat investment from experienced operators,” said Mike Sutter, Chief Operations Officer of Huey Magoo’s. “Thomas’s decision to open his fourth location and enter South Carolina for the first time underscores the strength, scalability, and long-term potential of the Huey Magoo’s franchise model. We remain focused on supporting multi-unit growth and partnering with franchisees who see the opportunity to grow with us in new and emerging markets.”
