About Island Wing Company
The first Island Wing Company restaurant opened in 2012. The concept was created by a pair of free-thinking restaurant entrepreneurs who happen to love the island life. Together, the husband and wife team had spent the prior 15 years building a highly successful 300 unit restaurant chain based in Destin, FL. Once again they had an idea for another unique restaurant concept. They paired that vision with an amazing team with decades of restaurant and franchise experience to create Island Wing Company.
