Wings Etc. Brings Award-Winning Restaurant to Evansville
Manish Malhotra renews commitment to the award-winning, full-service grill and pub franchise

Fort Wayne, Ind.— August, 2017 — Wings, Etc., Inc., an award-winning, full-service grill and pub franchise, announced today the opening of a new location in Evansville, Indiana. The latest Wings Etc. location, owned by Manish Malhotra and MHD Holdings, will bring its unique brand personality and popular food and drink options to Vanderburgh County as early as August 14.

A veteran of the restaurant industry, Malhotra began his career with Marriot International’s food and beverage sector before moving into a role of multiunit area supervisor for the Arby’s Restaurant Group. After opening his first Wings Etc. in 2015 in Princeton, Indiana, Malhotra has opened an additional three locations, including Evansville, over the last two years.

“Wings Etc. works with each and every franchisee to make planning, opening and operating more cost-effective, without compromising the brand position or value,” said Malhotra. “The brand is based on true family values, both in the dining room and in business philosophy. Franchisees like myself are in great hands.”

The new location will be the first for Evansville, but is part of a larger, rapid expansion across the region that includes recent openings in Princeton, Madisonville and Jasper, Indiana. Plans for a Henderson, Kentucky, and Newburgh, Indiana locations are also in process.

“We’re focused on making Wings Etc. the go-to destination in Greater Evansville, and Manish’s new location brings us a step closer to that goal,” said Rob Hensmann, CEO of Wings Etc. “We couldn’t be happier that he’s renewed his commitment to the Wings Etc. business family.”

Wings Etc. will be located at Town Center North on Diamond Avenue in Evansville, and will feature the same great food, drink and atmosphere that Wings Etc. customers have come to appreciate and value since the restaurant’s opened in Mishawaka, Indiana in 1994.
