DeStefano, a finance and operations executive with a background in real estate, has joined forces with hospitality professional Mike Diskin to oversee the expansion. The pair said they were drawn to Huey Magoo's after attending the brand's Discovery Day, where they experienced its operating model, culture and signature hand-breaded chicken tenders firsthand.
