TL;DR
Hungry Howie's has opened a new location in Southfield, Michigan, led by long-time franchisee Ryan Copus. The new location is offering week-long promotions to celebrate its grand opening.
The new location is led by long-time franchisee Ryan Copus, one of seven co-owners, including his father and brother, of the store. Copus serves as director of finance and administration for the group’s management company, Magna Services Group. Together, the 15 partners operate 22 other Hungry Howie’s locations in the area, bringing over 200 years of combined upper management experience. The family-oriented group has deep ties to the community, supporting local schools, churches, youth sports leagues, and city-wide programs.
“By opening this store, we can reach customers who previously did not have a local pizza option while also giving our existing guests another convenient choice,” said Copus. “We aim to stand out by giving locals an unparalleled experience and embedding ourselves in the community.”
The new Southfield location grand opening celebrations include:
All November: 51% off any large pizza at regular menu price (online carryout only)
Monday, November 10: First 50 orders receive a free pizza certificate for a future order
Tuesday, November 11: Gift card giveaway via Southfield Hungry Howie’s Facebook, valued up to $150 for the winner’s next party.
“I’ve been a part of the Hungry Howie’s family ever since I was born,” said Copus. “My dad opened his first store in Sterling Heights in 1991 – the same year I was born – and the reason my name is Ryan is because it was on Ryan Road.”
The new 10 Mile Road location in Southfield serves Hungry Howie’s signature menu items, including the newly launched Detroit-Style Pizza that made Hungry Howie’s the first national chain to bring an authentic version of the Motor City classic to customers coast to coast. The store also offers convenient curbside pick-up and delivery to the surrounding areas, bringing the flavor directly to customers’ doors.
Known for inventing Flavored Crust® pizza, Hungry Howie’s has been around for more than 50 years and provides customers of all ages high-quality products at a great value. Currently, the brand has over 500 stores in 19 states across the United States and their customers are big fans of flavor. The menu aims to satisfy all – with dough made fresh daily in-house at all locations, offering original round, deep dish, thin crust, and gluten-free options, coupled with the array of options for just crust, including 8 free Flavored Crust® options – Butter, Asiago Cheese, Cajun, Butter Cheese, Sesame, Garlic Herb, Ranch, and Italian Herb.
No one can live on pizza alone, so Hungry Howie’s offers a great selection of calzone-style oven-baked subs, Howie Bread®, fresh salads, Howie Wings®, Howie Rolls®, desserts & Pepsi® products.
