The Utah-based company is now moving toward a new concept — Wingers Restaurant and Alehouse. The revamped restaurants have a modern sports-bar feel, where customers will find fresher food, an expanded beer selection and high-definition televisions for watching games.
The frozen chicken wings have been replaced by fresh chicken pieces breaded in house; the diner-inspired interior has been refreshed with metal and wood accents; and the 7-foot-high barriers — aka Zion Curtains — that were required by state law to shield the mixing and pouring of drinks from minors were removed, creating a more modern, open atmosphere.
Founder Eric Slaymaker and his co-owner and brother, Scott Slaymaker, have made other significant changes.
