Wing Zone
American restaurant chain
Wing Zone is an American, Las Vegas-based chain of restaurants, owned by Capriotti's, that specializes in chicken wings and burgers. The chain has over 30 restaurants in the United States and over 60 internationally. In 2022, Capriotti's announced that Wing Zone will be expanding with 50 new locations into India.
History
The Wing Zone was founded in 1991 by Matt Friedman and Adam Scott, two students at the University of Florida. The two partners took over their fraternity kitchen at night and began developing their recipes. Friedman and Scott opened up their first two locations in Gainesville, Florida, in 1993. As of 2014, Wing Zone has opened eight locations in Panama City, Panama. In 2014, Wing Zone opened their second international location in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. In 2015, Wing Zone opened their third international location in Guatemala City, Guatemala. In 2021, Capriotti's purchased the company and relocated the headquarters to Las Vegas.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american restaurant chain” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8025122. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2022, 1991, 1993 and 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
