Wingstop named ‘Best Wings’ in Tallahassee

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 18, 2008 -
Tallahassee, Fla.  – Wingstop, the wing fanatic’s favorite chicken wing chain, has just been named ‘Best Wings’ in Tallahassee for the third year in a row.

Each year Tallahassee Magazine creates a “Best Of” issue based on votes of people throughout the area. The issue features highlights on the best shopping, food and entertainment offerings in Tallahassee.

“This is one of the biggest honors that we could receive”, said Deborah Brown, owner of the three Tallahassee Wingstop Restaurants. “What I discovered when we opened 6 years ago was that the reward for being a Wingstop franchisee is the community’s response to our service and products.  Knowing that our community has voted us “Best Wings”, three years running, is the icing on the cake.”

Brown is currently gearing up for her busiest time of year – football and basketball season.

“We plan all year for football season so that we can provide our guest with the best experience possible.  People love to order wings for their tailgating and TV watching parties.  We appreciate the opportunity to fill that need with the ‘Best Wings in Tallahassee’.  Of course Super Bowl is the busiest day of the year and we always ask our guest to call in days ahead so that we can provide them their wings when they want them,” said Brown.

Brown’s Wingstops are located at 3111 Mahan Drive, Suite 21, 1964 Tennessee Street, Suite 4, and 6668 Thomasville Road, Suite 111.
