Epic Wings Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

"Your Neighborhood Wing Spot for Over 40 Years".
Epic Wings started when the Sacco Family packed up their Oldsmobile and headed from New York to California.

They were the first to bring buffalo wings to the West Coast by opening Epic Wings, formerly known as Wings N' Things, in San Diego, California in 1982.
Since chicken wings were unheard of at this time, customers were reluctant to try them so they would stand outside the restaurant with free samples.
They knew customers would be hooked once they tasted them and they were right. Today, Epic Wings is serving up authentic, award-winning recipes from coast to coast.

We never compromise on the taste and quality of our food by using only the freshest ingredients. Our best-selling tenderloin strips and wings are never frozen, breadsticks are made daily and our sauces and dips are homemade. You will never find a freezer, heat lamp or microwave at any of our locations so you can trust that you are getting your food made to order every time. It is the tradition of unwavering quality since 1982 that our customers have grown to love and why we have been named best wings time and time again.

Experience a rapid launch and accelerated cash flow with Epic Wings.
You'll be supported by our robust national and local brand marketing initiatives and raving fans! Benefit from our proactive strategies designed to swiftly drive sales, ensuring a dynamic start and sustained profitability for your new locations.

We have the highest average gross sales across anyone in the Wing QSR Segment. Our strategic menu positioning is tailored to maximize sales and profitability. We have a diverse strategically planned menu, designed to captivate customers, driving both revenue and long-term success.
You have an unparalleled opportunity to tap into untapped markets with Epic Wings, a franchise boasting a remarkable 40-year track record of success. Join us and seize the potential for unprecedented growth in your market waiting to be dominated.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
