East Coast Wings and Grill Meets with Franchise Interviews

We are meeting with Sam Ballas, the Chief Executive Officer of East Coast Wings and Grill. Sam speaks with Marty McDermott and Don Johnson about why East Coast Wings & Grill has enjoyed consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales increases despite other restaurants seeing successive losses. Dedicated to family and far different from the norm in the chicken wing segment, Ballas and Kontos took over in 2000 after they noticed that the vast majority of wing concepts focused on pushing alcohol sales to make money. By creating a warm and inviting decor and focusing on families, customers started flocking to the restaurants.
