About America’s Small-Town Alehouse

The first Wingers location opened with a mouthwatering family wing sauce recipe and quickly grew into an iconic fan favorite. Over 30 years later, Wingers Alehouse has become one of the hottest franchise concepts in the country. At Wingers Alehouse, our hand-crafted food, world-famous wings and Sticky Fingers, our signature Original Amazing Sauce, along with an impressively huge line-up craft beers, make us the place to be! The Wingers Alehouse Experience includes wall-to-wall sports and dedication to the local beer culture – and has proven to be the best Alehouse franchise concept with extraordinary growth potential for smaller and mid-sized markets. Wingers Alehouse locations thrive in towns with populations from around 20,000 to 50,000, under our proven site guidelines.


At Wingers Alehouse, we serve our award-winning food and 101 craft beers in contemporary full-service locations that are designed to prosper in both metro areas and small to mid-sized markets – but we always bring a “Small-Town and community” culture wherever we go! Our franchise opportunity offers streamlined operations, enhanced technologies and tactical business strategies that are backed by our skilled support teams.


Wingers Alehouse is growing, and we currently have 25 locations in five states. We are seeking ambitious and passionate franchise partners who are passionate about bringing world-famous wings to new markets, such as Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and across the Midwest.
