The takeout / delivery chain Wing Zone has franchise locations in 25 states and boasts chain sales of more than $46 million. Later this summer, it will open at 1683 N. Van Buren St., at the corner of Brady Street, next to DigiCopy where Giovanni's restaurant once stood.

Here's how the company describes itself on its Web site, "25 ... flavors of fresh, cooked-to-order chicken wings, fingers, chicken sandwiches, burgers and more. Wing Zone has nearly 100 locations operating nationwide and 30 more in development."

Wing Zone's only other Wisconsin location is in Green Bay. The Atlanta-based franchise received attention this summer for its plans to recycle vegetable oil as fuel for its delivery cars. According to reports, Wing Zone plans to convert at least one vehicle at each of its 120 locations, and the change should save nearly 200,000 gallons of gasoline per year.

The menu looks pretty good and not too expensive. I think they'll do well, as it offers an alternative to KFC or Popeye's. I'll give them a try.

I loved WOW! They had different style wings and wraps then BW3's..(think fat and juicy). And good chips n salsa. But drinks were overpriced..and it was just a little too off the North Ave drunk scene. Sometimes it was busy..other days only 4 or 5 people in there. I also give this new wing place a year..but who knows maybe since it has delivery it will catch on.

WOW had a huge parking lot in the back so that was not an issue. I know the owner and it was a combo of things. Way to big. Rent was a killer, $5000.00 a month. Chicken prices doubled drom the time they opened until they closed. One way street. Utilites were too high also. It was an old auto garage. It cost a fortune to cool in summer and to heat in winter, no insulation in the roof meant wasted money. Several thousand dollars during some of the colder/hot months. It is to bad because the neighborhood needs a fun place like that and Lane is a good guy.
