Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop and Wing Zone Experience Positive Momentum

The start of 2023 has proven successful for the fast-casual brands, as Capriotti’s signed agreements to develop 9 new restaurants and Wing Zone inked deals for 13 restaurants. These deals include the first-ever Capriotti’s location in Alabama and the first Wing Zone locations in Utah and Washington.

“I am impressed with the growth we saw in 2022” said David Bloom, Chief Development and Operating Officer for Capriotti’s and Wing Zone. “Capriotti’s and Wing Zone franchisees, Brenda Torres and Adam Wyatt, garnered the Franchisee of the Year Award in Las Vegas at the International Franchise Association (IFA). In addition, Q1 brought the addition of two new C-level executives to the roster – Michael Meche as Chief Restaurant Officer and Scott Wessel as Chief Technology Officer.

“It is great to see the dedication our franchisees and team members have to serve high-quality food in a great atmosphere to their communities,” added Bloom. “As a company we value going above and beyond to make our customers feel welcome at Capriotti’s and Wing Zone, and that will continue to drive the growth of our brands as we expand.”

Founded in 1976, Capriotti’s is most famous for its 40-year nightly tradition of slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house and hand-shredding them each morning to feature in a variety of subs. This includes The Bobbie, the shop’s acclaimed best-seller, made with homemade turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo on a soft roll. Founded in 1993, Wing Zone is known for its cooked-to-order, flavor-fused chicken wings, and tenders.
