“The growth is clear validation that our approach to fresh food and family friendly driven atmosphere continues to capture market share with our communities East Coast Wings & Grill operates within. While we are seeing new areas in our menu growing, our proprietary process in how we are able to deliver a fresh, gourmet style buffalo wing at over 75 flavors gives our brand an edge in the space.” said Sam Ballas President/ CEO.

The brand will add operations in South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Kentucky and Pennsylvania in 2013- while Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia and additional North Carolina units are in the pipeline for late 2013 and 2014.
“It is as simple as, ‘Never Be Satisfied’. Our style of management and expectation in menu innovation and unit level economics drives our team and franchisees to better the brand every day. We measure everything, we work on sustaining our metrics and we push forward with accountability from supply chain, franchisee and franchisor – its going to be a great year.” Ballas said.
