Hungry Howies’ has opened in Clayton, North Carolina. The store is celebrating with a special limited-time offer of a large two-topping flavored crust pizza for $11.99. To support their local community, the location has partnered with Cleveland High School Athletic Booster Club as well, according to a press release. The restaurant is owned by multi-unit franchisees Randall Moran and Robert Wasden. Each with over 15 years of combined experience in the QSR industry, Moran and Wasden have worked their way up in restaurant management. Originally from Florida and fans of the Hungry Howie’s brand, Moran and Wasden purchased a pre-existing Hungry Howie’s location in 2021 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The Clayton location marks their second Hungry Howie’s store. The duo will open a third Hungry Howie’s location in Fayetteville in late November. “Owning and operating our first Hungry Howie's restaurant in Fayetteville has been an incredible, whirlwind experience,” Moran said in the press release. “We are ecstatic to grow our business and introduce the Clayton community to the delicious, flavored crust, fresh ingredients and impeccable service that Hungry Howie's is known for.” “I grew up on Hungry Howie’s pizza and I’m excited to bring my favorite pizza chain to the area,” Wasden said in the press release. “I’ve enjoyed introducing the high-quality Flavored Crust pizzas to Cumberland County in Fayetteville. I can’t wait for the Johnston community to fall in love with the brand as much as I did.”
