Valley location did a soft opening on Saturday, July 25, 2015 and was overwhelmed by the fans response resulting in running out of food a few times during the day and decided to close the next day (Sunday). They opened back up Monday, again, ran out of food and closed early to prepare enough food for the apparent demand and opened back up Tuesday July 28, 2015. The Fountain Valley location went seven days a week for the following two weeks and decided to only be open on the weekends due to the neighbors being a bit concerned with the high traffic and limited parking. The Test Kitchen held these hours until May 28, 2016. It then closed for revamping until it re-opened October 2016 and has been open seven days a week from 8 AM to 8 PM since. The revived Naugles opened its first daily operating location at 21351 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach on May 28, 2016, taking over a former Wahoo's Fish Taco across from the Waterfront Hilton. The initial lease was for the summer of 2016. At the end of this time, Josh Maxwell (CEO) said he would evaluate the performance of the operation at this location before deciding to renew the lease. The lease was renewed and has served as a great beach front seasonal location to date. On January 25, 2020, a third location was opened at 12120 Beach Boulevard, in Stanton. The third opening came after months of preparation and conversion from the old restaurant that was on that site, The Mad Greek. It is the first of the revived chains to have a Drive Thru and the first drive-thru in Orange County since the last Naugles was converted to Del Taco circa 1995. This soft opening had an overwhelming response on the first day. Stanton is in a "soft opening" period and 7 AM to 11 PM will be the temporary daily schedule until the Grand Opening which will be announced soon. Stanton is generating plenty of nostalgic memories and new fans of the menu as is referenced by the Naugles fan club group on Facebook. In popular culture In the original Naugles TV commercials, the character of Señor Naugles was played by two successive character actors, Roger C. Carmel and comedian Avery Schreiber.
