If you’re looking to open your own business, you may be wondering why Wings Etc. is the best option for you. Great question. We like people who do their homework. Especially because we think we are the best choice in the foodservice industry and are confident that you’ll be excited to become a part of our brand after you have a full understanding of what we’re all about.

For nearly 30 years, we have been making our presence known in the foodservice scene. The sports bar used to simply be a bar with a TV in the corner. Today, they are so much more. Sports bars drive growth among full-service and family-style restaurant chains, and regular bars and restaurants are struggling to catch up to the sports bar momentum.

You should franchise with Wings Etc. because:

1. Among full-service bar and restaurant models, we have one of the lowest startup and break-even business models.
2. There’s no need to try to convince people to try our food because our core menu items, like wings, burgers, wraps, and salads, are already surging in popularity.
3. We continue to expand into a wide range of retail spaces, market types, and market sizes.
4. We are memorable and distinctive, and we are NOT just another sports bar.
5. Many of our franchisees (34%) own multiple units, and many of our locations (32%) are company-owned and operated, continuing our franchisee and corporate ownership “buy-in.”

About Our Chicken Wings Franchise Opportunity

Founded in 1994 in the South Bend, Indiana area, Wings Etc. is a family-friendly sports bar that’s a welcome departure from highly programmed, big-box sports bars and overwrought gastro pubs. Our fundamental philosophy is: “People love the stuff we serve and they love watching sports and hanging out: don’t overcomplicate it.” We’ve distilled that philosophy into four words: “Good Food, Great Times.” We are passionate about delivering that concept and continuing to build a fan base that “gets us” because we “get them.” It’s a great relationship, and we are excited to introduce the Wings Etc. sports bar concept through more like-minded, passionate Wings Etc. franchise owners.
