Hurricane Grill and Wings

Hurricane Grill & Wings is a casual dining chain known for its flavorful chicken wings and relaxed, beach-inspired atmosphere. The company began in 1995 in Fort Pierce, Florida, where it quickly built a following for its wide variety of sauces and approachable vibe. Over the years, Hurricane Grill & Wings grew beyond its Florida roots, expanding into other states and earning recognition for its fresh, never frozen wings and tropical-themed menu.

A significant milestone came in 2018 when FAT Brands Inc., a global restaurant franchisor, acquired Hurricane Grill & Wings. This partnership provided the brand with greater resources and operational support, allowing it to pursue multi-state growth and broaden its reach. As of November 2025, Hurricane Grill & Wings operates 38 locations across the United States, with a strong presence in Florida and additional stores in Georgia, Alabama, New York, and other markets.

In the past five years, Hurricane Grill & Wings has focused on franchise-driven expansion, actively seeking new locations and franchise partners, particularly in suburban and coastal communities throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The brand has demonstrated flexibility in its formats, offering both full-service restaurants and smaller express units to accommodate a variety of retail environments and customer preferences. This adaptability, combined with the backing of FAT Brands’ experienced development team, positions Hurricane Grill & Wings as a reliable and differentiated tenant for retail centers looking to add a casual, family-friendly dining option. The company continues to open new stores and pursue growth opportunities, maintaining momentum in its priority markets and remaining open to both traditional and non-traditional retail sites.
