Wild Wing Cafe, 480 Town Center Place Suite 2: 22 July 2022 2 comments
2011:
August 2022:
To the best of my memory, I've never been in a Wild Wing, even to get a burger, largely because I don't like the smell of chicken.
I did enjoy their radio campaign which leveraged The Troggs "Wild Thing!". The first set of pictures above is from 2011, with night shots presumably taken while I was on the way home from the movie theater. The next set are from this month, and post-closing.
The State has the story, but I'll fancy my pictures have a more complete one.

This was originally a franchised location, as was the Harbison location. The franchisee at this location had a difficult time of it, so Diane and Cecil bought it from the franchisee and made it a corporate store. The Sandhills location had the rumor of being jinxed - Wild Wing managers and staff half-joked that if Wild Wing Corporate wanted to fire you, they would transfer you to Sandhills first.
Diane and Cecil sold the Wild Wing chain to an investment fund out of Charlotte who envisioned turning it into the next Buffalo Wild Wings like another investment firm had done with BW3's. Instead, the brought in as conmpany president a guy who ran Hardee's into the ground and things were on a downhill slide from there...
Last time I went to the Sandhills location, the service was indifferent and awful and the food was mediocre at best - and expensive.

Who doesn't like chicken?
