Detroit-based chicken wing chain opens third Lansing location

It’s been nearly 10 years since Jack Mashini and Brian Shunia co-founded Wing Snob.

The Warren-based fast-casual restaurant chain has expanded from one location in 2017 to more than 70 today. Franchises have cropped up in the Chicago area, along with Texas, Florida and even Canada.

There are around 30 locations in Michigan, nearly all of which are on the state’s East Side. In Lansing, though, chicken wing fans are in luck: The chain just added a third location in the area, and its first on the city’s south side.

The eatery opened Saturday (Jan. 17) in the Jolly Cedar Plaza. It offers a 100% halal menu with chicken sandwiches and fresh wings, as well as cauliflower wings for vegetarian or vegan customers.

The chain offers 16 sauces and seasonings for its wings, plus loaded fry options such as chili cheese and Cajun Parmesan. The southside store joins locations on West Saginaw Highway and East Saginaw Street.
