Halpern Enterprises, Inc. today announces it has secured a ground lease with Florida-based Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders for a 2,740-square-foot freestanding restaurant. The fast-casual eatery will occupy an outparcel at Halpern-owned Heritage Walk, a 156,712-square-foot shopping center at 1962 North Columbia Street in Milledgeville, Georgia.  

“Huey Magoo’s is a perfect complement to the restaurants and retail shops at Heritage Walk and welcome addition to the area’s dining scene,” said Halpern Regional Leasing Director John Brozovic. “The restaurant will include indoor seating, an outdoor patio, and a drive-thru to accommodate the needs of customers.” 

Founded in greater Orlando in 2004, Huey Magoo’s specializes in steroid and hormone-free chicken tenders. The Milledgeville restaurant is owned by the same franchise group that opened the first Huey Magoo’s outside of Florida this past January in Loganville, Georgia. The group plans to open additional restaurants throughout metro Atlanta.  

Owned, leased and managed by Halpern Enterprises, Heritage Walk is anchored by Ross Dress for Less, Hobby Lobby, PetSmart and Bealls. It features national tenants Randstad, Papa John’s and Dunkin’ Donuts. The shopping center also includes a 17,464-square-foot freestanding Aldi and 3,750-square-foot freestanding Aspen Dental, constructed by Halpern’s build-to-suit division in 2016. 

Heritage Walk is situated on N. Columbia Street/US-441, Milledgeville’s prime retail corridor. Adjacent to Milledgeville Mall and surrounded by an assortment of national and regional brands, the shopping center is strategically located two miles from Georgia College and downtown Milledgeville
