Wings Etc. to Expand Michigan Footprint with Nine New Locations

Sturgis, Michigan franchisees Gene and Robert Harrison renew commitment to the award-winning, full-service grill and pub franchise with a multi-unit signing

FORT WAYNE, Indiana – November 1, 2017 – Wings Etc., Inc., (www.wingsetcfranchise.com) an award-winning, full-service grill and pub franchise, continues its rapid nationwide growth with an announcement this week that it’s bringing its unique brand personality and popular food and drink options to nine new western Michigan communities.

Veteran business owners and existing Wings Etc. franchisees Gene and Robert Harrison are at the helm of Wings’ Michigan expansion which calls for nine new locations, the first of which could open as early as spring in Coldwater, Michigan.

“Wings Etc. is an amazing business to be a part of and we’re thrilled to expand our commitment to the brand and be a part of its nationwide growth,” said Gene Harrison, Wings Etc. multi-unit franchise owner. “Since opening our first Wings Etc. in Sturgis (Michigan), we’ve seen a huge reception from the community. They love the vast menu and the laidback atmosphere we offer, so we wanted to offer that same great experience to an even larger customer base.”

In addition to Coldwater, the Harrison’s expect to open their third Wings Etc. location next summer in Port Huron, Michigan, Gene’s hometown. From there, the father-son duo anticipates opening a new location every six months across western and central Michigan as a part of the company’s rapid expansion across the Midwest.

“Our goal is to make Wings Etc. a go-to destination across the nation, and the Harrison’s continued commitment to growth gets us one step closer to that goal,” said Rob Hensmann, CEO of Wings Etc. “They are excellent business partners who are doing pretty spectacular things in Michigan and we look forward to seeing that continue with each new franchise location.”
