Wings and Rings

The Wings and Rings franchise is a sports-related restaurant that is growing its name in the industry. The sports bar franchise was founded in 1984 and began franchising four years later in 1988. Since that time, it has expanded to more than 80 locations across the U.S. The franchise offers a variety of drinks, starters, buffalo wings, and more. The Cincinnati-based buffalo wing company recently announced that it would waive the $40,000 franchise fee and eliminates royalties after the first six months for prospective and existing franchisees who qualify. Wings and Rings did this as a way to save franchise owners money and meet customer demand and needs.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
