Wings Etc. - Franchise

Wings Etc. Franchise Opportunity

Wings Etc. is a family-friendly sports bar and grill with over 30 years of industry-leading experience. Known for its award-winning wings and welcoming atmosphere, Wings Etc. Grill & Pub has grown to over 80 locations across 13 states. With nearly one-third of locations corporate-owned, Wings Etc. is a proven concept backed by real-world success and a commitment to helping franchisees thrive.

Why Wings Etc. Stands Out

• Award-Winning Wings: Voted "Best Wings" in our home market for 30 straight years.
• Big Flavor™ Signature Sauces, Rubs and Dips: From mild to extra spicy, our fan-favorite and limited-time promotional flavors keep guests interested and coming back.
• The Perfect Spot for Sports Fans and Families: Big screens, over 40 beer selections, and full bar service make us a go-to for game days, celebrations, and family outings.
• Neighborhood Focus: Wings Etc. is the local favorite for sports fans, families, and community events.
• Flexible Locations: Freestanding, inline, or endcap options—with the convenience of a pick-up window.
• Multiple Revenue Streams: Dine-in, carry-out, catering, online ordering, and delivery expand your opportunities for growth.
• Customer Loyalty That Works: The Wings Rewards loyalty program and app keep customers engaged and coming back.

Why Choose Wings Etc.?

At Wings Etc., we’ve built a franchise model for success:

• Low Startup, High Growth Potential: Our model minimizes costs while maximizing growth opportunities.
• Room to Grow: Nearly 34% of franchisees own multiple locations or have units in development.
• Flexible Real Estate Options: Our expert team helps you secure free-standing, in-line, or end-cap locations, with the option of a pick-up window.

As franchisee Manish Malhotra shared:

"Wings Etc.’s startup and operating costs are economical. The operational support has been phenomenal, with the team treating the business as if it’s their own."

About Wings Etc.

Founded in 1994 in northern Indiana, Wings Etc. Grill & Pub began as a single location dedicated to creating a casual, welcoming atmosphere where friends and families could enjoy great food, ice-cold beer, and sports on TV. Over three decades later, Wings Etc. has grown into a thriving brand with 80 locations in 13 states, offering a community-focused alternative to big-box sports bars and trendy micropubs.

Guests know us for our award-winning jumbo and boneless wings, in a variety of signature sauces and rubs. Our menu also features hand-smashed diner-style burgers, grilled and crispy chicken sandwiches, wraps, salads, and an incredible lineup of appetizers. Kids’ meals, daily specials, local craft beers, and signature cocktails round out an experience everyone can enjoy.

From our laid-back atmosphere to our Big-Flavor menu, we’re proud to be the neighborhood spot for “Good Food, Great Times” over 30 years—and counting.
