  • Crumbl Cookies Warner Robins Location Confirmed!

    Attention HoCo cookie lovers! Y’all know you want more dessert, and you’ve maybe heard rumors about Crumbl Cookies coming to Warner Robins… Well, we’ve finally seen the signs go up on the rumored storefront, confirming that the new hit dessert spot is going to be located next to Stevi B’s at 2907 Watson Boulevard.

    If you happen to peek in the windows, you’d see that we’ll be waiting a bit longer for the storefront to be renovated (*ahem* not that WE did that… *ahem*), but no target opening date has been released.

    In the meantime, here’s a few reasons why people go nuts over Crumbl Cookies:

    1. This family-owned business started in 2017 and became the nation’s fastest growing cookie company.
    2. Tech-driven approach to order and deliver cookies via a user-friendly mobile app.
    3. A rotating menu of fresh and unique flavors every week, along with their classic chocolate chip and pink sugar cookies.
    4. Trademark pink boxes that are both aesthetic and functional, keeping the cookies warm and fresh.
    5. A strong and active social media presence where they showcase their cookies and attract customers.

    Between this and the Starbucks at Target in the same shopping center, we won’t know what to do with ourselves!

    Houston County Insider will keep you in the know for the opening so you don’t miss first dibs! Keep salivating, HoCo!

  • Coming to Perry Parkway: Huey Magoo’s!

    Calling all chicken lovers! Exciting news – Huey Magoo’s is coming to Perry Parkway later this year!

    Construction starting soon in Perry, GA!

    The popular chicken chain has been a big hit since opening it’s first Houston County store a few months ago off of Lake Joy Road in Warner Robins, and they’re about to start construction on a second store on Perry Parkway, located between the Publix shopping center and the Houston Superior Court.

    Some folks are thinking, “really, another chicken place?” But the rest of us Insiders are emphatically shouting, “YAS.”

    Huey Magoo’s is famous for their delicious hand-breaded chicken tenders, made with all-natural, hormone-free chicken breast. Their signature “Magoo Sauce” is a must-try, along with their hand-cut fries and creamy mac and cheese. Plus, their menu includes a variety of salads, wraps, and sandwiches, so there’s something for everyone.

    And that’s not all – the local franchise owners plan to open one more location in Houston County, location TBD.

    Can Middle Georgia handle this much chicken? Y’all ain’t even seen us get started, we ’bout to eat! See you at Huey Magoo’s, Houston County!
