The development follows Capriotti’s acquisition of Wing Zone in January.

The agreements include both single and multi-unit growth, as Capriotti’s franchisees are interested in expanding their portfolios with Wing Zone locations and vice versa.

Capriotti’s and Wing Zone chief development officer David Bloom said: “A big reason why our franchise partners want to reinvest in our brands is because they feel confident in the leadership and direction both brands are heading.

“Our expansion is validation of the strength of our business model and our partners are excited about the phase of growth for both brands. Our continued success is what makes us the industry leader and will continue to separate us from others out there.”
