Saucy, a concept backed by KFC Corp. that sells chicken tenders with sauces, is opening two Northeast Florida locations, both former PDQ restaurants, in March and April.
The restaurant at 4816 Gate Parkway near St. Johns Town Center will be the first to open March 23, according to a March 6 news release.
That will be followed by the Saucy at 194 Florida 13 N. in Julington Creek on April 13.
At the Gate Parkway location, giveaways and free food samples will be offered starting at 11 a.m. while supplies last, the release said.
The Julington Creek restaurant opening will include free swag bags, a sauce bar tasting, live DJ, photo booth, interactive games and more.
Saucy is operated by KFC Corp., a subsidiary of Yum! Brands.
In addition to tenders and 12 sauces, the restaurant sells sandwiches, desserts and beverages that can be purchased as combos.
Yum! Brands announced Sept. 17 it had acquired 13 PDQ restaurant site leases in Florida for development of its concepts, including Saucy.
The food industry publication restaurantdive.com reported in December 2025 that Yum! Brands CEO Chris Turner said KFC Corp. planned to expand Saucy throughout the Southeast and anticipated having roughly 10 Saucy units in Florida in the near future.
