The second deal includes 10 hand-breaded tenders with two flavors and Jumbo Wedge Fries or Kettle Chips for $16.99.
Today, there are more than 80 Wing Zone locations across the globe and Friedman and the Wing Zone team are focused on menu innovation and introducing Flavorholics to unique new menu items. To kick off 2019, Wing Zone introduced Flavorholics to its new Zesty Breaded Wings in February along with two new flavors, Buffalo Ranch and Ragin’ Cajun. The company will also launch new chicken ribs and chargrilled wings later in the year. In 2018, the company expanded the menu to include new lines of vegetarian options including triple grilled cheese, a chipotle black bean burger, grilled wraps and unique desserts as part of a shift to a broader, better menu in line with evolving consumer tastes.
Wing Zone will open eight new domestic locations in 2019 in target markets in North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama while also expanding overseas by adding 10-11 new international locations in Panama and the Philippines.
