Winger's Grill & Bar Franchise

Family restaurant diner

Eric Slaymaker founded the first Winger's Diner in 1993 out of a 1940s Pullman train car in Salt Lake City. Featuring Buffalo-style chicken wings, the restaurant was popular with many, including NBA basketball players who were in town to play the Utah Jazz. The Winger's concept is now franchised across the United States through Winger's Franchising Inc.

Parent company The Slaymaker Group, founded by Slaymaker, has more than 20 years of management experience and operates Tony Roma's and T.G.I. Friday's restaurants in addition to Winger's.
