Under new management, franchisees have enjoyed strong sales growth.
Then a pandemic forced us to accelerate innovation. The result: A new breakthrough.
Native Grill & Wings is a beloved wings franchise in the Southwest, especially in the Phoenix area where we got our start in the late 1970s. We were the first to bring Buffalo-style wings to the Southwest and have won over generations of customers with great food and a family-friendly sports bar ambiance.
Average sales topped $2 million in 2019 as we enjoyed a 15-month-long string of year-over-year sales growth. New investment capital helped us improve operations and innovate on behalf of franchisees.
This franchise offers all of the tools you need to become a successful owner of your own business. As with any business, hard work and dedication are a must, but we can tell you the effort you put in will pay off.
Now we’re looking to grow and are offering opportunities to restaurant industry entrepreneurs.
We anticipate opening 6-12 new restaurants in Arizona through the end of 2022, with concentric development to follow.
You’ll need at least $500,000 in available investment capital and a net worth of $1 million.
Covid proved that this chicken wings franchise has legs
Native Grill & Wings has been rapidly investing in stronger operations to boost sales and profitability for franchisees. That innovation paid off in a huge way in March 2020 when coronavirus impacted the restaurant industry.
We had already been focusing on ways to expand our Carryout and Delivery service. When dine-in service was temporarily halted, we rapidly accelerated rollout plans in order to serve customers and keep our franchisees’ businesses strong. We worked closely with franchisees every step of the way. A massive surge in Curbside, Carryout and Delivery (CCD) sales mitigated the impact of closed dining rooms. Notably, as dine-in returned, carryout and delivery sales have remained exceptionally strong. We’re excited, because strong CCD sales on top of our dine-in sales creates a new baseline for how much revenue a restaurant can generate.
We were already strong. The future looks stronger.
Core strengths of the brand
- Strong regional brand with a cult-like following
- Open territories and unlimited room for expansion
- A differentiated customer experience. Most hot wing franchises have a fraternity party atmosphere. We’re more laidback and family-friendly. There’s beer on tap, liquor at the bar, TVs on the wall showing sports, and great food — but we’re more “family Super Bowl party” and less “Animal House.”
- Strong product mix — including liquor, beer & wine sales — boosts margins
- In-house financing to cover franchise fee, payroll and accounts receivable
How much will it cost?
