Hungry Howie’s Pizza will open a location on Nicholson Drive near West Lee by Jan. 15. The franchise has applied for a building permit for a spot in the Beau Chene Shopping Center and construction is slated to start shortly on a 3,500-square-foot store that will have between 50 and 60 employees offering delivery and pick-up, says Ray Williams III, manager of the Hungry Howie’s location in Gonzales. Hungry Howie’s specializes in pizzas with flavored crusts; choices include butter cheese, ranch and garlic herb. Ray Williams Jr. opened the Gonzales location in September and owns the Hungry Howie’s rights to the state. “We always have a few more stores in the works and we plan to open two or three more by next year,” Williams III says. Hungry Howie’s, based in Michigan, currently operates more than 575 locations in 23 states, according to the company Web site.—Emma James
