Naugles is opening a second permanent fast food restaurant in Huntington Beach.

The new standalone is taking over a former dry cleaner at 5061 Warner Ave., less than two miles from Pacific Coast Highway.

The new restaurant will open after the summer, giving Naugles fans two year-round locations. The other location is at 18471 Mt. Langley in Fountain Valley.

A seasonal Naugles food stand across from the Waterfront Hilton in Huntington Beach will remain open through the summer. When it closes, the employees will shift to the permanent location a few miles away, Naugles owner Christian Ziebarth said.

Ziebarth, who won the trademark rights to Naugles a few years ago, said “more locations” are in the works.

In September 2016, Naugles announced plans to open up to 1,000 restaurants through franchising, with the first 100 restaurants expected to open in the next five to six years.

In 2010, Ziebarth launched a battle with Del Taco over the rights to the Naugles trademark. The Mexican fast-food brand merged with Del Taco in 1988. The Naugles restaurants slowly diminished with the last one closing in 1995.

In a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark agency, Ziebarth argued Del Taco abandoned the brand years ago, legally allowing him to make a claim.

In 2015, he won the federal trademark fight, paving the way for Ziebarth and his investors to revive the brand. The first temporary restaurant opened in August 2015 to overwhelming crowds in Fountain Valley.
