Atomic Wings plans to nearly double its footprint in 2026.
The New York City-founded chicken wing chain plans to open more than 20 locations, nearly doubling its current footprint of 24 stores. The growth will include five new locations across New York City, including two in Brooklyn, two in Queens, and one sports bar concept in Manhattan.
In neighboring New Jersey, Atomic Wings expects to open six new locations. The brand is also plotting expansion outside of the East Coast, with nine additional openings planned across Texas, South Dakota, Minnesota, Ohio and Illinois.
“We’re at a pivotal moment as a brand,” said Zak Omar, CEO of Atomic Wings. “Atomic Wings is looking to skyrocket, and this year we’re on pace for up to 100% growth. What makes this especially meaningful is that we’re doing it by doubling down on our home market. New York and New Jersey are where our story began, and we see tremendous opportunity to continue building density there while also introducing Atomic Wings to new communities across the country.”
