The brand offers a franchisee-friendly model which allows current restaurant or bar owners to add Atomic Wings to their menu with low startup costs, and virtually no new equipment or infrastructure. This has brought fresh branding, new life, and of course, great wings to many great bars and restaurants, making it our most popular franchising model
