Burger and Yogurt joints: move the cluck over.
Should Atlanta be relieved that it’s chicken instead of beef and yogurt or appalled at the sound of 20 anythings?
Wingstop, the national chicken wing chain owned by Atlanta-based Roark Capital Group, announced in a press release Thursday plans to “aggressively” expand its Atlanta presence.
The chicken wing chain will add 20 additional locations in Atlanta over the next several years, according to the release.
Wingstop is holding an “Atlanta open house” April 20 and 21 to kick start the “expansion effort.”
David Vernon, vice president of franchise sales for Wingstop, will be serving up the chicken chain’s Kool-Aid to potential franchisees.
“…cooked-to-order wings and fresh-cut fries makes Wingstop an ideal concept for entrepreneurs and multi-unit operators in Atlanta,” Vernon said.
Hmm. Cooked-to-order wings and fresh-cut fries, huh? Doesn’t sound like anything Taco Mac or any of the other chicken wing franchises that already plague every Atlanta corner have.
Atlanta, let’s call a spade a spade: it’s wings, burgers and yogurt (oh my!) from here on out. So considering wings are deep fried and not much more, burgers and yogurt are starting to look a helluva lot better!
