Franchise History

East Coast Wings was born in the year 1995 when a small, individual wing restaurant concept in Winston-Salem, NC was opened. In 2001, Sam Ballas, Founder/CEO bought this individually owned store, then reworked and expanded upon the original East Coast Wings concept and menu to introduce a new and improved Buffalo-style restaurant that is known today as East Coast Wings + Grill. Sam set out to change the stereotype of the traditional Buffalo-style wing restaurants in America that typically do not place importance on food and family atmosphere as much as beer sales and the bar scene. East Coast Wings + Grill was born to prove to America that not only can you enjoy Buffalo-style wings with a heat index that spans seven levels, but also choose from multiple flavors, fresh salads, flatbreads, signature burgers, wraps, and sandwiches, all prepared fresh to order. He also envisioned a casual dining experience that delivered an atmosphere where anyone, especially families, could enjoy famous East Coast Wings Buffalo-style wings and a variety of menu items. Sam created a warm and inviting décor, enhanced a craft beer bar atmosphere, and evolved East Coast Wings into a causal, full-service dining experience. By 2002 he began building the foundation of the East Coast Wings + Grill franchise bar and grill system.
