ClaudeAtomic Wings is entering its next phase of growth with plans to open more than 20 locations by the end of 2026.
The New York City-based chain operates 24 restaurants and expects to nearly double its footprint with the expansion.
The development pipeline includes five new New York locations, including two in Brooklyn, two in Queens and a sports bar concept in Manhattan. In New Jersey, franchisee Moe Moustafa, who currently operates two Brooklyn Atomic Wings locations, will oversee six new restaurants. Atomic Wings also plans additional openings in Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and South Dakota.
"Atomic Wings is looking to skyrocket, and this year we're on pace for up to 100% growth," CEO Zak Omar said in a press release.
Omar said the company plans to continue building density in New York and New Jersey while expanding into additional markets nationwide.
