Magazines and Meatloaf Haven Opts for Office Drive-Thru It has been over two years since Haven has had a permanent office space. Since then, we’ve worked in our publishers’ living room and two other temporary spaces – putting out two magazines a month, 12 times a year.
private partnership with a national fast-food chicken brand. We are constantly being asked, “Where can I get a Haven?” and “What if I want to read an unnecessarily long 2,000word profile on the go?”
Destroyer Media & Marketing is excited to announce that we finally have a permanent home in the works. One of the things we loved most about being in an office accessible to the public is how much we could interact with our readers through drop-ins and community events.
We’ve got you covered! Slide on through our drive-thru and tell our customer service associate, Steven Downy Jr. Maynard, you want to ‘Destroyer Size your meal,’ and we’ll throw in a copy of that month’s Haven in with your meatloaf or locally-sourced chicken sandwich.
Over the last year, we’ve worked primarily from home. We are thrilled to be creating magazines together in a collaborative space again. And we can’t wait to see YOU there.
Yell, ‘Spud me!’ and we’ll shoot a raw potato into your car with our high-powered potato cannon for you to take home and fry later.
Part of our office design is a drive-thru lane down the middle of our shared workspace – think, Beverage Castle. We’ll be serving more than beers – though you can pick up a Bud Heavy here too. Always a dream on the backburner – our food concept/ publishing business model will finally launch!

We couldn’t be more excited for the prospect of serving the community through written and visual storytelling, social media, chicken nuggs, and beers. Haven is looking to franchise our magazine office/ fast-food idea. Send inquiries to our business email, april_foolz@havenmagazines.com, if you’re interested, and we can set up a meeting to talk numbers.
Drive on through for a slice of Haven’s famous meatloaf. If warm square meats aren’t your thing, check out our other menu items like H-shaped chicken nuggs and spicy chicken sandwich sliders. We’re proud to be serving up only the freshest local chicken, which has been easy to source due to a recent increase in seized Winter Haven chickens and our
