## Story

According to CNN Business, many wing restaurants, both franchised and independent, have been experiencing sales increases as sports come back to TV screens. Fans may be watching and rooting for their favorite teams at home, but they still want the food that can give them that “game day experience.” For many, that food is wings.

“We have seen as much as 100% sales increase in some of our locations,” Atomic Wings CEO Zak Omar told CNN Business.
