Capriotti's Sandwich Shop and Wing Zone are continuing their U.S. nationwide expansion with a second quarter of growth, which was on trend with Q1's announcement of signing deals to open 30 Capriotti's shops and 30 Wing Zone locations.

The brands, which are backed by a corporate leadership team, inked similar deals this quarter to add another 45 locations. Capriotti's acquired Wing Zone, based in Atlanta, earlier this year.

"Capriotti's and Wing Zone are two brands dedicated to doing everything it takes to best serve our guests and franchise partners alike — especially after a year like 2020," David Bloom, CDO and COO, said in a company press release. "Looking ahead, our focus will be to continue being extraordinary franchise systems, whose franchise partners earn exceptional returns by selling the best tasting, highest-quality food in the industry."

Founded in 1976 in Las Vegas, Capriotti's has 125 locations. Wing Zone, which was founded in 1993, has 31 U.S. locations and 36 international units but plans to hit 200 restaurants by 2025.
