Number of units
Wing it On! had 13 total units in 2023, of which 12 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
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:
Mandatory Initial Training Before opening, the franchisee and their designated full-time manager must complete a mandatory seven-day training program at Wing It On!’s headquarters or another designated location. This covers operational skills, management techniques, and brand standards, and is included in the initial franchise fee (excluding travel and lodging).
Grand Opening Support Wing It On! includes up to two weeks of on-site grand opening support from a trainer or support staff as part of the franchise fee. This hands-on guidance helps the team apply their training in a live environment.
Additional On-Site and Optional Training Franchisees can request extra training sessions at their location or at the franchisor’s training facility, which may cover new topics, staff retraining, or operational support. All costs for these optional sessions, including trainer fees, travel, and accommodation, are the franchisee’s responsibility.
Territory Protection
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.
