Guy Fieri’s new Chicken Guy location in Wesley Chapel opens this week

Celebrity chef and “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri will finally debut his latest chicken tender chain location in Wesley Chapel this week.

The new

Chicken Guy!

outpost, located at 25769 Sierra Center Blvd., was officially announced back in August as the first in the Tampa Bay region, and will now open its door on Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 10 a.m., according to a press release.

Co-founded in 2018 with Planet Hollywood founder Robert Earl, the chain’s menu primarily focuses on chicken tenders and Guy’s “Big Bite” chicken sandwiches, which are both served either grilled or “crispy fried.” There are also shakes, fries, mac and cheese, salads and more up for grabs.

The chain currently has 13 locations across the country, with more on the way. The closest outpost in Winter Park

faced eviction

last March over $38K in unpaid rent, and a location in

Livonia

, Michigan shuttered abruptly last June.
