About Wingers
Wingers – the Chicken Wing Company – is a family-run franchise which took off during the pandemic. Amran Sunner, his brother Dylan and dad Bill set about creating their own delicious, fresh fried buttermilk chicken recipe for customers to enjoy, this idea quickly developed into Wingers! Now supported by a professional, experienced franchise team and with five stores in the Midlands and ten more in the pipeline, Wingers offers a proven fast-food franchise opportunity to business-minded individuals who want to fly!
Amran explains: “It’s a real family business but with the back-up and support of experienced QSR and franchise professionals. My brother Dylan was just 16 when he first started helping out, encouraged by my mum Jas. Even my late granddad got involved in preparing the chicken! We came up with the menu development at home!
Dylan and I set up business together in a dark kitchen in Aldridge and then grew the operation. I handled the kitchen and Dylan handled Front of House. We then set up and ran our first restaurant in Lichfield as a pilot in September 2022. It was so successful we are working together to drive the expansion of the franchise. We are now inviting new franchisees to join our Wingers family and grow their own franchised businesses with our proven concept, and the support of our experienced team.”
The Product
Wingers’ fresh, succulent chicken coated in a range of secret spices has already developed a loyal customer base across the Midlands. Now we are ready to spread our wings through expanding our franchise.
Our focus is on flavours and quality ingredients to create a tasty meal which customers can enjoy either in one of our eat-in restaurants, takeaway or delivered to their door. There’s a chicken dish to suit all tastes from flaming hot Sriracha to our sauce-free Plain Jane. On the bone or off, in a bun, wrap or bowl, we have it all!
