Wing It On! is a dynamic fast-casual franchise known for its authentic Buffalo-style chicken wings and sandwiches. Originally founded in 2011 in Waterbury, Connecticut, the brand later relocated its headquarters to Raleigh, North Carolina to support its growth.
The company began franchising in 2020, aiming to expand its footprint nationwide. By August 2022, Wing It On! had established ten brick-and-mortar restaurants across several states, including Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas.
What sets Wing It On! apart is its commitment to quality and flavor, serving fresh, never-frozen, all-natural chicken wings and hand-breaded chicken sandwiches. Customers also enjoy a wide selection of house-made sauces crafted from scratch.

Wing It On! provides a detailed and structured training program for its franchisees to ensure smooth operations and brand consistency. Here’s a numbered summary of the training programs offered:
Wing It On! does not grant franchisees an exclusive territory, meaning they may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels.
While the franchisee operates within a defined area, this area does not guarantee exclusivity, and the franchisor retains the right to sell through various channels like the internet, direct mail, or special venues. Franchise agreements may include a “protected radius” or trade area, but this mainly applies to mobile units like food trucks and does not fully prevent overlap.
The franchisor also reserves the right to establish Special Accounts, which are large contracts that may cover areas beyond a single franchise territory, and franchisees may be given the first option to service these accounts.
