Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 8 Wing it On! restaurants (7 non-corporate/franchised-like, 1 corporate/affiliate-owned) that were open for a full 12 months during the 2024 calendar year.
* The financial performance data is extracted from the '2024 Sales' table and summary AUV/Median figures in Item 19. The provided sample includes 8 stores, one of which ('Waterbury*') is explicitly marked as 'Corporate/affiliate -owned location'. Following the instruction to extract only individual franchise unit performance data and ignore company-owned units (unless no franchise data exists), calculations for average and median gross revenue are based on the 7 non-corporate stores. Individual sales for 7 non-corporate stores: $824,634.28, $952,383.73, $637,280.78, $322,349.16, $381,180.51, $503,930.77, $292,555.16. Calculated average gross revenue: (824634.28 + 952383.73 + 637280.78 + 322349.16 + 381180.51 + 503930.77 + 292555.16) / 7 = $559,187.77. Calculated median gross revenue (from sorted 7 non-corporate sales): $503,930.77. The document provides 'Annual AUV - Top 25% Full Year Stores: $888,509.01'. This value aligns with the average of the top 2 sales from the entire 8-store sample (which happen to be franchise stores): ($952,383.73 + $824,634.28) / 2 = $888,509.01. This is used for 'revenue_top_quartile'. For 'revenue_bottom_quartile', the document does not explicitly provide a 'bottom 25%' figure. It is calculated as the average of the bottom 2 sales from the 7 non-corporate stores: ($292,555.16 + $322,349.16) / 2 = $307,452.16. No information on net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense data was provided, therefore corresponding fields and best-guess profit ranges are set to null.

A newcomer to franchising since 2020, Wing It On! specializes in chicken wings amid fierce QSR competition, backed by Craveworthy LLC. Item 19 reveals revenue snapshots from a tiny system of just 8 franchise units, while growth contraction and legal entanglements paint a turbulent picture. Does this brand's bold flavors translate to stable investment returns, or is the real story hidden in the shrinkage?
Wing It On! entered franchising only five years ago, starting with promise but hitting a wall: total locations fell from 11 in 2023 to 12 (8 franchised, 4 corporate) in 2024—a stark 27% franchise contraction per FDD data. Projected openings sit at a modest 3 new units, with 2 system transfers signaling some activity, but 4 SBA loans averaging $282K hint at financing hurdles for franchisees. Litigation flags a messy breach of development agreement by a former franchisee, countered with claims of franchisor misrepresentation and Nevada trade practice violations; the parent company's bankruptcy history adds risk. These metrics scream early-stage volatility—few units mean unproven scalability.
Financials tempt on paper: initial investment spans $218,900-$473,333 including $35K franchise fee, with 6% royalties plus 2.5% ad fund. Item 19 shines here, disclosing average gross sales of $559,188 and median $503,931 across units—respectable for a micro-system, implying potential AUVs beating some QSR peers if expenses align. Yet without EBITDA margins or profit data, true franchisee take-home remains opaque; factor in contraction and legal baggage, and payback could stretch beyond 5-7 years. For chicken wing enthusiasts eyeing QSR, this is high-risk/high-reward—diligent FDD scrutiny essential before biting.
