“What a blessing to be both the first store in North Carolina and the 50th store in the company,” says RJ and Lori Murray. “We couldn’t be more excited to be honored with such milestones! Asheville is such a warm and welcoming place. To us, Asheville is synonymous with beauty, food and amazing people, and it is so exciting to join a ‘foodie’ community. It’s also extra meaningful for us to join the Huey Magoo’s family having grown up with Founder Matt Armstrong’s wife Brittany, who was instrumental in our decision to join this very special, successful brand.”
Howard says, “I am thrilled to celebrate this monumental moment in our company’s history of both the 50th store system-wide and first in North Carolina in beautiful Greater Asheville! When I look back almost eight years ago to when myself and partners joined together with Huey Magoo’s Co-Founders Matt Armstrong and Thad Hudgens, we thought we had something very special, and we were right. We all look forward to celebrating this very special occasion with our terrific Arden franchisees and with all of our wonderful stores and loyal customers company-wide. To the next 50!”
